Hmm, could be simply a color variation, or is it an actual bump? Maybe he got mugged by another shrimp...

Sorry that was my poor attempt to be funny. But seriously, I doubt there's much to worry about. Though I never seen a shrimp have a protuding bump on their head. Maybe it's just a growth defect. When's the last time you changed the gene pool?

Have any pictures of it?
