I have been catching these VERY cool shrimp in the grass flats for my tank, I put about a dozen in every week and go get more after the octopus eats them. They are small, less than 1cm but they are a BRIGHT emerald green. I mean they literally look like they are cut out of a piece of emerald. I love them in my tank, just gorgeous. Anyone know what they are?
 
Pics would help
 
The description sounds a lot like grass shrimp. They are about 1cm, eat mainly detritus, and are indigenous to the West Coast US, though I think other places too. Those should be a lot of fun!
