I bought three "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Shrimp" from my local fish store on 12/27/02 for my 20 gallon tank. They are clear with a long pointy red "thing" sticking out of their heads. I believe they are red-fronted shrimp, Palaemon scarletti. They will grow to about an inch long. One was found dead on 2/23/03 of unknown causes
