Can you help me identify this shrimp. A hobbyist from Hawaii has been catching them in the wild and can't seem to keep them properly. I'm working on identifying this shrimp but thought I'd ask just in case somebody would know right off the bat.
The hobbyist catches them from brackish waters. And calls them "glass shrimp" but there are many shrimp under that name.
Thanks for any help!!

Re: Identify this shrimp
It's a Palaemon debilis. Very common on Oahu (personal experience) in near shore brackish lagoon areas...even quite polluted places. They are very nice looking, interesting shrimp that live in large groups.

Thanks!
Any hints as to how he can keep them alive better in his tank?
