It actually stays hidden unless no one is in the room then it comes out... It's funny looking though. Big head and slim body.

I was thinking about doing a shrimp only tank with about 200 in a 75 gal... I also just bought 3 sexy shrimp, 7 zoo's( had 3 on 1 piece of gravel and 4 on the other for $5), 1 blue tang, 1 goby(forgot the name), 1 bubble tip mushroom, and 1 cleaner shrimp

Just use photobucket if you need a ton of room. I'd love to see some more about the brown shrimp you have. Totally something I've never heard of before, really cool.

I agree

I mean, I have a hard time supporting taking things out of the ocean...mostly due to the chance of bringing a parasite into an already established tank...but I've never heard of people keeping this type of shrimp before. Really neat imo.

I'm unbelievably jealous, absolutely amazing tank!

Well I put them in when my tank was 2 days old... I caught them with a cast net... They've grown a lot... And I know the parasites had me worried but I rinsed then in facet water( I know it probably didn't help) and then put them in the tank... I'm actually thinking about tank raising then and selling them at 2-6 inches long... They do rearrange the sand in the tank though
