Default ID this lobster

Hi all, saw this strange lobster/crayfish at all the stores at
C328. Seems to be a special shipment. Looks interesting but I have no idea what it is. It has feathery appendages near the mouth just like mountain shrimp, which means its probably a filter feeder (see the 2nd pic). It also has no claws, but instead seems to have claws adopted for digging... Very unique creature! Anyone has any idea?

Looks like vampire shrimp (african giant filter shrimp).

Wow, thanks for the info bros! Sadly the shrimps kena snapped up damn fast. They were gone within 1 week. I remember they were going for $18 per piece. Hope they bring more in! Looks very interesting
