    Well gots a new cleaner shrimp for the tank, well (knocks on wood) acclimated him and hes chilling and believe it or not already molted. Question is he has a lump in his side and from what I read possible parasite which they can/will live with the rest of there lives. Is this anything I should be concerned about?

    Nope. I had one with the same parasite for years with no obvious bad effects.
