  Yes this species is transparent :)
  In "Costa Brava" (Spain) there are thousands of these but this one was the biggest I have ever seen :) Posted 11 years ago

    It does not seem that Wikipedia has identified this Rock Shrimp species other than to just classify it as part of the genus "Palaemon". All the Costa Brava pictures that I see classify it as "palaemon elegans" which Wikipedia does not have as a species. Someone probably needs to update Wikipedia. :)
