Are there any shrimp that breed like RCS? That is, their shrimplets are miniature versions of the parents and don't undergo a larval stage?

I'm looking for an easy shrimp to start with.

I'm so confused and in that odd chance this is -actually- a shrimp, I'm too scared to Google it while at work b/c I'm apprehensive of what I might find. I'm already worried that I'm going to get 'flagged' by the network admins b/c of all the weed sites I accidentally click on when I look for aquarium and hydroponic supplies.

Who knew pot heads liked to write so much :)

I did find Hawaiian Volcano Shrimp. But they're more brackish than full saltwater. I might give it a try though only because I do want to raise seahorses and these are supposed to be tasty snacks for them.

Oooh anemone shrimp! I can get some anemomonomenes and some nemos to go with them :)

I prefer not to get clownfish b/c it seems so cliche now, but I always did love them.

... and I'm a bit surprised they're real :)
