What is this critter

He came with feeder shrimp

Maybe some kind of goby? Hard to tell. Looks like it's covered in sand. Not a good sign. Is it eating? I'm sure someone else can be of more help.

Some type of goby. You sound surprised. Was it sold as a pair or you found it after you got the shrimp home?

 

[chrisl3212003]

It is almost clear just got sw feeder shrimp and he was in the bag

That’s bizarre. What are feeder shrimp? Never heard that term. Do you mean live brine or mysis or an invert for your tank.?

Ghost shrimp

Hi few questions? We’re the ghost shrimp you got from a saltwater tank? Or was it brackish or fresh. If saltwater it is some type of goby and I will defer to the experts on this one. But if it was a brackish or freshwater system it looks like a swamp darter which sometimes come in with the freshwater ghost shrimp I order

They where saltwater ghost shrimp so it sounds like Goby thank you for your help

Looks like a marbled goby

I have gotten one also with my shrimp, mine is called a Sand Goby, and he is so cool, he’s not scared of me and will come when I rub my finger on glass, he likes to play. I’ve had him for about six months now, and have also gotten a pipe fish with the shrimp, it called a gulf pipefish, I named him fish stick, reminds me of sea horse. Never know what we might get with ghost shrimp, I’m just needing to find more places to order from.
