Just searched for viper shrimp and saw this:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCZrFsKB5zM

 

Those guys in my video were 'fanning' side to side like cheerleaders with pom poms.

 

Not sure what they are yet but really seem different.  Thanks for the tip on Viper Shrimp.

I just found this link.  Look at 1:58.  I think Gabon Shrimp is what this is called.

You have a few of those in a line and it's almost hypnotic.
