It is quiet difficult to determine which shrimp has worms. From my observation, the infected one will gradually changed color to white mostly on its head. The best thing to do is to find anti-parasite food for its consumptions. However, if you has doubt, just quarantine it in a different tank for 1-2 months and verified it yourself.
