I found this inside the shrimp tank. It is attached on the Fissiden and mosses. I was thought it was the snail eggs. But then they will move and reacted like the mushroom in marine. Once you touch it...it will shrink and move to other direction. But never see any shrimp or shrimplet trap on this. Pl...

Thank you very much for the information. Perhaps different places had named it different name. But i do believe Japan is the first place which found this species.

Hi,
The biggest size is around 1.5inch. Average around 1inch+-. Yes. There are 2 female with eggs.

Caught some of them in Cyber Jaya, Malaysia where my office is. Their favourite food is the dead fish or left over of pellet. Lfs selling it as feeder shrimp. Some lfs called it as ghost shrimp. Is there any scientific name of this shrimp? http://www.albumtown.com/data/5dc4eb9f87745d9b68298f34bb21a8...

Thank you very much for the verification. Mostly the local people taking is as crayfish. It is kinda aggressive towards it own kind and fishes.

Hi Erirku,

Thank you for sharing. I am thinking of 100% rescaping. The tank look messy. But look like all the shrimps living and breeding happy in there. I just found I have my 4th batch of cherry shrimplets last night.

Perhaps, I have to let it be and get another tank up for them.
