Looks to be one of the 30 some odd species of shrimp known as the "ghost shrimp" to me.

*patiently awaits Dave or CAFs rebuttal*

if you paid half of nothing for it, chances are that it's a ghost shrimp... in fact, it pretty looks like a ghost shrimp to me... Tho I'm no expert.. ^_^

No rebuttal from me.... without a microscope and a DNA lab I can't tell the "Ghost Shrimp" apart.

It most likely Palaeomonetes spp. "How the heck should I know" an unforuntately all too common species. There are a few I can tell apart but I have to be right on top of it....
