how long can ghost shrimp live if not eaten?
Lil'Fishy said:"The ghost shrimp is surprising long lived. A 10 cm individual excluding appendages may be 10 years old and many reach an age of 15 or 16 years old."

you can type "ghost shrimp" in a search engine and get a lot of info on them
Neotrypaea californiensis (Dana, 1854)
The ghost shrimp is not a shrimp at all, but actually related to hermit crabs. Callianassid crustaceans like this one live in burrows in muddy bottoms; but the one shown in the image at the top of the page was photographed as it sat in a glass cylinder in the lab.
