Yeah, it's diseased. The ordinary clear flesh has turned white. This happens to fish a lot too, but we normally don't see it on account of the opaqeness of the fishes skin. Neons turn white when they're infected, being one of the fish in which it's easy to see.
Having your shrimp in with feeder guppies is a pretty good reason for them to be sick.

2 of my shrimp got sick (turned white), and died. What do you think caused it in my setup?
