So cool! Eric photographed this shrimp in the low intertidal zone tonight (25 November 2022). We think it might be a species of Heptacarpus, possibly Heptacarpus brevirostris. (But if you have more experience with shrimp and have a different opinion, please let us know.)
I love the blue-green background color and the bright blue spots! Sometimes Heptacarpus brevirostris is called the Stout Coastal Shrimp, but this one made me think of a galaxy, so tonight I'm calling it the Blue Galaxy Shrimp. :)
Thanks, Eric!
