I found my tiny pistol shrimp that came with the LR about a month ago. Wow! He's doubled in size at least. Hiding in a cave in the rock. Anyways, I went looking at my tank again, and I saw what appeared to be a crystal-clear shrimp. It was on its side near the pump. It didn't look like anything was "inside." Is it a shrimp exoskeleton? Or is it a dead shrimp? I know there are several other shrimp that I've not seen since the rock was put in the sump. One was a large shrimp that I believed to be a female pistol. Another shrimp actually played dead the entire time in the tupperware container. He'd wash around, never moving, but always ended up right-side-up. So I figured what the heck, I dropped it in, it sunk to about halfway, quickly righted itself, and swam off into the rocks. It had red and white bands, from left to right, the entire length of his body. Any idea what this bugger was? and does anyone know if that's a dead shrimp or just a shed? Thanks!
