Pregnant Coral Banded Shrimp?

I have two coral banded shrimp in my 75g reef. I just noticed today that one of them has an aqua colored body cavity. It also looks swollen compared w/ the other shrimp. Just wondering if anyone knows about this. Here is a picture, not very clear sorry.

The ovaries are green on the female but from the looks of that picture I would suspect that something was up.

From what I have read, shrimp are hermaphroditic-
After they molt, the shirmp are female and can develop eggs. Then, when they turn male a week+ later, they fertalize their own eggs.
At least that is the way cleaner shrimps are. Correct me if Im wrong...
