I'm sure it's not but it looks like a freshwater ghost shrimp..lol

way too big for a ghost shrimp, plus the whole not being able to live in saltwater thing...

This is how it was when we bought it. It's been in our tank now for about a month.

more like a camel shrimp if you ask me. The hump on the back gives it away. THey look like peppermint, but don't eat aptasia.

That's what we were thinking. We have it in our tank with two camel shrimp that are fully colored. Just cant understand why this little shrimp has no color.

well I have a camel shrimp and its hump is more pointed than this one, and he is brighter red and white than my peppermint.though my peppermint has a hump as well. I hope its not a camel because camel are known to eats mushrooms and polyps. Just not reef friendly
