Skeleton shrimp (Caprella sp.) aren’t your typical shrimp-like crustacean. These abundant amphipods prefer to perch their pereons upon a piece of seaweed, bryozoa, or hydroid, moving about in an inchworm-like fashion with the aid of their grappling-hook-claws, called gnathopods. When the going gets tough, skeleton shrimp can get going, albeit a bit awkwardly — swimming by rapidly bending and straightening their bodies in a series of suspended underwater crunches.
To eat, they hang on to their home with their back legs and wave their bodies about in the current while swiping for bits of food and detritus. It’s these motions that have inspired Shelly’s newest workout trend — now grab your friends and get ready to have a skeleTON of FUN!
