Apparently, you can call this one both shrimp and prawn. Maybe (that is, I really think so) it is of the genus Pandalus; it might be Pandalus platyceros, but shrimp species are quite difficult to identify and I'm not an expert so.. this is just what it looks like to me. (;
Great photo, though, I love it!

Yeah I should've looked at sign. Size wise, it was a little bigger than the Leafy Sea Dragons that was in the same tank. Anyways thanks!

I always forget that, too . If it was that big, it really might have been a Pandalus species. Some species of that genus are eaten, where I live you can often find Pandalus borealis in the supermarket.
You're welcome!
