I see a cleaner shrimp and a green blob. Which would you like identified and can you take a clearer photo if it's the blob?

The shape looks a bit like a harlequin shrimp, but the color is different than anything I've ever seen.

Any chance it sould be a green saron shrimp? A better photo would still be helpful if you can get one.

Hard to tell from the photo. It resembles a Saron Shrimp.

I believe that is the extremely rare and elusive hair algae shrimp... you my friend have lucked out.

Ok that was a joke.... just as an FYI.

 

[cranberry]

It's a saron.

 

[sng]

It looks like a Monkey shrimp or a Hawaiian Green Shrimp.
