    Can anyone ID this little shrimp?

    Hi guys I was out admiring the tidepools at the beach infront of my house and came upon this little shrimp. He looks like a sexy shrimp but not the coloring. I live in Ventura, Ca btw.I brought him home and did the drip technique on him. He looks like he loves the tank and all my fish came and said hello to him.
    The Green monti he is calling home is about 2" by 2"

    That seems like a positive ID, Renee. Here’s a link to Drs F & S for a pic and some info - Saron Shrimp

    Thats a cool shrimp. Is the waters down your way warmer how warm do they get in the summer do you know?

    There is no elevator to success in marine tanks. You have to take the stairs.

    there are some awesome "things" down my way. I scuba dived in 68degree water about 2months ago here. Last Sunday tho I went surfing and it was down to 62degrees. So that is warm for SoCal. My very first scuba dive was here in 48degree water.... :/

    Sounds the same water temp as where I go @ Morro Bay CA but I guess that's because they aren't to far away for each other. lol That shrimp went through some big changes that's for sure.
