That's just some sort of prawn shrimp, definitely not a camel. Cool that you got a preggers one! I'm sure some of the more experienced peeps on here can give a positive ID.

Another question! Is there a way to tell if the eggs are fertilized or not? I’ve tried to look up how the breeding process works but couldn’t find much valuable information. Is it possible they will be babies?

Regardless we want to find her a bf once we know what kind of shrimp she is

Bump

I'm almost certain that they mate before they show signs of holding eggs, and those look pretty far along so far so I would be highly surprised if they weren't fertilized. Sadly, saltwater shrimp larvae are too small to survive in any normal reef and need special rearing tanks and tiny foods to stay alive. On the plus side, one day soon you'll have a fish buffet!

That’s what I figured unfortunately. I love feeding our fish live foods when possible so I’m excited they’ll get a good snack

Still need an ID! Our LFS are all across town/far from each other. I’d like to call ahead of time if possible to see if they have one!!
