Been trying for quite awhile to get good pictures of these small guys. Hard to see and they won't hold still! Not sure of the spieces but at least I got a good shot!

It looks a lot like seaotter's illustration of a threespined shrimp:

Correct- first one's a Heptacarpus tridens, second is H. brevirostris.
