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.
