Those look pretty good to me, be aware of import duty though on items over £15 coming to the UK unless they get marked as a 'gift' on the import sticker

Oh, now that's different.I love these.Gves a volcanic feel.

It could be one of these shrimp? 'Palaemonella burnsi'

See the 2nd shrimp down on the pdf below, could be wrong but it looks similar on my phone screen

Palaemonella burnsi is a small anchialine shrimp ranging from 0.2 to 0.3 inches in size.

Distribution: This species is found only on the islands of Maui and Hawai‘i and is transparent, grayish-green to red in color. The shrimp is likely omnivorous and feeds upon algae and detritus. Known from only 3 pools on the island of Maui and one pool on Hawai‘i. This species is known to occur in high salinity anchialine pools.

Population: Undetermined

Nice find! Only thing it seems larger than .3 inches. I think.

Oh yeah! Haha how did I miss that

It does look like it though. Maybe the report was wrong and only observe the babies/young ones.

This guys video at 1:09 onwards has a large greenish shrimp that is similar with his Opae ula and alphas which comes in from the right.



and here which shows it better, its in the middle on the rocks.

Bingo! You are right! I just asked him the name of it.

Odin,
Also from the book, the shrimp we were wondering about is either Opae Huna or Opae Oehaa. Wow, more shrimp species!!!
