why is my shrimp fuzzy???

why is my shrimp fuzzy???

this shrimp accidentally came home with me when buying shrimp. she's extremely eggnant and now she has this weird fuzz (?) on her?

I don't know what it is but perhaps it could be an infection of some kind? or is she about to mold? still looks really weird to me though and I'd appreciate some help and advice as to how I should treat it!!

thanks in advance

EDIT: she's in a bowl until her eggs hatch to keep her babies safe from getting eaten. I do water changes every few days and the parameters have been stable so far, I used sand, plants and water from my already circled aquarium when setting up the temporary bowl.

she's a natural colored cherry shrimp (people helped me figure this out in another post, I am not well educated on shrimp)
