I'm on the big island of Hawaii right now and have found some very interesting shrimp living in brackish ponds. They are mostly transparent with some black and white markings. Perfect camo for the lava and coral sand substrate here.
The largest I have seen are about 2 inches long.
Does anybody know anything about these shrimp?
If I had a brackish water tank set up at home, I'd try to bring a few back with me.
