OOOOOOOOOOH!!!! A ghost! Ghost Shrimps live in deep parts and
crevices of caves. They are not common but very striking when
they are found. The Ghost Shrimp are burrower's in kind of muddy
or sandy sediments. They can also live in crevices underneath
rocks and corals. Since these animals burrow, they are important
to the ocean enviornment. Ghost Shrimps are sometimes used as
bait by fishermen. The fishermen call the Ghost Shrimp Bass
Yabbies and/or one armed bandits. They are especially common in
the tropics. The female Ghost Shrimps carry developing eggs
attached to some hairs on their pleopods or stomach. |Home
