Our favorite yoga pose—the shrimp squat.

Researchers often find these small shrimp, Hymenopenaeus doris, hanging upside down, motionless in the water.

While performing this “zombie-like“ behavior, the shrimp look a lot like a discarded exoskeleton sinking slowly through the dark midwater. Scientists speculate that the shrimp might reduce their chances of being eaten by mimicking a sinking molt.

This odd behavior might also be an adaptation to conserve energy since the shrimp live at depths where the seawater contains very little oxygen. Animals found in low-oxygen environments have a harder time moving rapidly or for long distances.

My brain: what if….everything BAD???

Me: how about we just look to the right of the bed here

And contemplate a shrimp instead?

Brain: …a compelling counterpoint.

I'm writing something about a species that is genuinely very rare and trying to not get too philosophical about it. No, how we treat this one shrimp is not indicative of humankind as a whole, but at the same time you guys had better keep this shrimp safe after I'm gone or I'll haunt you forever.

bamboo shrimp is doing well btw

sits on the filter and filter feeds all day, wonderful creature.

its so small lol, i wonder if its not even wild caught. i mean i know some people breed them. also all the shrimp in the store were the same size, so maybe thats actually the case. also they were kinda cheap for an imported animal.
