Is there anyway you can take the photo of it when it's closer?
Remember to use macro function w/o flash if ur tank is bright enough.

By the way, you can gives us some clues on the shrimp's size, pattern or even it's colour so that we can try to identify for you.

its around 2cm long. slightly yellow tint to it. it has a light solid yellow strip running down its back, and half way down its back there's another horizontal strip, so its like a cross.

sorry for the bad picture! =.= no good camera at hand for now....
