Subject is the green shrimp, the other is a juvenile in genus Palaemon.
Although I only took photos of one individual of each species, both were common during this hand netting outing.
Palaemon serenus was exceedingly common as juveniles plus fewer adults.
Hippolyte australiensis (I only saw the bright green morph on this outing) were quite common, as juveniles and adults, but were still greatly outnumbered by P. serenus.
