Great pic of a rare sighting of this tiny and very cryptic shrimp (actually said to be common, but very well camouflaged)

Thank you for the ID! I was looking at something else when this little guy moved. I saw a few others after that, but they are very well camouflaged.

No worries. Looks like the system has gone nuts. I can't access the taxonomy or add the new species, which is not in the database. Anyone?????
