Did it have thin claws? Was there a blue tint to the claws?

Re: 8" Ghost Shrimp O.O
I don't remember, but his claws DID stand out. It was a different color than the body. The body was dark gray with a hint of brown and the claws were either black or blue. Oh yes, the claws were thin. The arm that held the claws were also very long, and had size one inch claws.

Re: 8" Ghost Shrimp O.O
Then I would guess that it's some type of Prawn. Macrobrachium rosenbergii perhaps.

Re: 8" Ghost Shrimp O.O
That would have been interesting to see, Ghost Shrimp, are known to only grow to about 1.5 inches max.
Steroids maybe ???? |
