ooops thats what I meant "Skeleton Shrimp" not ghost shrimp...LOL... saw them scuba diving in Indonesia. very cool creatures I must say...:nerd:

It's weird cuz I've been diving 10 years now and the last 4 years have been right at the Channel Islands and I've never seen those guys before. When I saw them yesterday I was shocked

What ever you do try to keep them alive. Do you have a quarantine tank? I agree,see if you can feed them. You may have the next big ticket ..............or the next big scare.

EDIT: just as I posted this we had a huge long roll of thunder... LOL .. maybe you better nuke them then.. LOL
