These are Rimicaris shrimp. The shrimp on top
has recently molted. We know this because its exoskeleton is clear.
This compares with the other shrimp that is colored blue-black from
feeding on sulfide bacteria. The shrimp on top is a female -- you
can see the orange-colored eggs along the sides of her body.
