shrimp

Crustacean related to the prawn. It has a cylindrical, semi-transparent body, with ten jointed legs. Some shrimps grow as large as 25 cm/10 in long.

The European common shrimp Crangon vulgaris is greenish, translucent, has its first pair of legs ending in pincers, possesses no rostrum (the beaklike structure which extends forwards from the head in some crustaceans), and has comparatively shorter antennae than the prawn.

Synalpheus regalis, a shrimp that lives within sponges in the coral reefs of Belize, was discovered in 1996 to live in social colonies with a structure resembling that of social insects, such as ants. All are the offspring of a single reproductive female; care of young is cooperative; and larger individuals act to defend the colony.
