I got this little critter at La Jolla Shores, 12/04/10 in less the good conditions. I "assume" it is a shrimp, I could use a proper ID!

I will send this on to Greg Jensen, the Pacific Coast Crabs and Shrimps author, and see what he says.

Alrighty, I just heard back from Greg, and he says it's a deep blade shrimp, Spirontocaris prionota. So there you go!

BTW, I recommend Greg's website and his book as well:
