I have a shrimp i think its about 1/2 inch long,clear outer body and dark inner. It has taken over a shell and seems to be moving sand out of it. Any ideas what it is?
I really dont think its a amphipod i have lots of those but they are a half the size of this one unless this is the next stage of their life? It looks more like a mantis or grasshopper head and has its claws/arms coiled up like a praying mantis. Its out all hours of the day i checked skeleton shrimp deff not that.
The more i read is the mantis baby should be green? It keeps tumbling back into that shell it comes out sometimes neat to watch it looks identicle to the last pick i posted but the pic doesnt say its a mantis it was on google pics.
