Shrimp ID

I caught this little guy under a floating dock in Cape Canaveral FL. Anyone else have an Idea what he is? Google lens is stumped. It keeps telling me a pipe fish or cuttlefish, lol.

The body reminds me of some type of palaemonetes shrimp (ghost/glass/grass shrimp). Many species are native to Florida so it’s a possibility.

Brown Grass Shrimp

Leander tenuicornis

+1 to this - Female Leander tenuicornis (differentiated from males by the ocelli - the spots on the side there - and by a taller and wider rostrum; not all females have the ocelli, but males reportedly never have them; male rostrums are shorter and leaner):

Same family actually, so pretty close there!

You changed your picture @ISpeakForTheSeas . Did you get a frog fish, I love the colors!

Haha, no picture change or frogfish yet, but I'm hoping for both at some point (hopefully sooner than later - I'm getting closer though!)
