I picked up what was labelled "Ghost Shrimp" from my LPS today. However they seem to differ from the ones shown in the species profile here. Can someone tell me what variety of Ghost they are? the eyes on mine seem to protude further...

Palaemonetes paludosus.

Thank you.

...and I'll bet you they're wild caught and shipped from some outfit down in Florida. I haven't found an LFS yet that said otherwise.

Especially since the ghost shrimp tanks are a great resource for Florida natives like species of swamp darters, mad tom catfish, and bluefin killifish.
