kev they are prawns
Some people call them glass prawns but they are a good clean up crew. The fish don't eat them because the prawns are very fast moving when a predator is about

Some people call them grass prawns but they are a good clean up crew. The fish don't eat them because the prawns are very fast moving when a predator is about

They're shrimp, because they're in the family Palaemonidae (genus Palaemon). shrimp are in the suborder Pleocymata, which also contains things like crabs and lobsters, prawns are in suborder Dendrobranchiata and aren't closely related.
