I was able to net a couple clam shrimp and some fairy shrimp last weekend in south Kansas.

These are different species of both types from the ones Ive found in the past.

Those clown shrimp, although they look tiny, remind me of a marine hermit crab. Now, I have to figure out how to get some ;)

Edit: make that clam shrimp :oops:

Hermit Crabs are so cool, a couple of weeks ago I saw my first LIVE ones and they look like giant Triops.

I got some with a batch of daphnia eggs. They were very cool and got to be dime sized. They really look like giant daphnia.

Looks like the "invert bug" has bitten you, Larry. ;) This may be the beginning of a long (possibly lifelong) addiction. :-D

Mustafa,

I was bitten on that Hawaii collection trip in 1999. It just took me this long to admit it :wink:
