I had these shrimp (clear with black or dark brown stripes and spots, the color depending on what they eat) in my aquarium a while back, having caught them from the seagrass beds right off the beach in southern Florida, but have no idea what they are. Unfortunately, these pictures are all I have, and they've been eaten by the pinfish (Lagodon Rhomboides) seen in the background of the first picture so I can't get any more pictures. The only two shrimp I know that look like this are grass shrimp, or amano shrimp, but those are both freshwater shrimp, and the ones I had survived for over a month in saltwater, and came from saltwater.
Below, the shrimp is at the bottom of the picture, chewing on a brine shrimp flake (The orange flakes at the bottom)
And below this picture, there is one shrimp in the foreground that had recently eaten a brine shrimp flake (notice the orange color through his clear body), and a shrimp in the background eating a brine shrimp flake
Also I've caught a number of these shrimp as juveniles, and they look like blades of grass encased in a clear cover (like ice), leading me to believe they are in fact grass shrimp.
