Unknown Species of Shrimp - Microprosthema sp.

 

Taken around February 2024 in Nagahama Maizuru, Kyoto Japan. Underneath an oyster shell cluster in approximately 4 meters of water. It is likely Microprosthema sp. but the only ones recorded in Japan are found far more south in Okinawa and the Ryukyu's.

I hope to find some info on this species. Right now we are unsure exactly what it could be. I have been searching for it for months now to no success. I'll have to search under rocks and oyster shell clusters same way I initially found it.

Its always fun finding new guys like this. If anyone might have an idea please let me know.
