they came from a tidal pool at lands end.... I havent seen them with claws and or colors like this. usually they are clear with yellow or orange stems for there eyes... this is what every other one I have caught in the past 10 years has looked like  |

catching the new ones was easy! I moved some seaweed it jumped on my hand and started picking at my fingernails, so it has to be some kind of cleaner shrimp?

Sounds like it's worth reporting it to fish and game so that biologists can track their spread.

The shrimp in your second photo (from years ago) looks like Palaemonetes pugio. Common and native.

Ok I spent four hours in tidal pools in Biddeford and didn't find a thing. What am I doing wrong? And no wise comments about the Biddo |
