There's no picture. Upload the photo to somewhere like flickr or photobucket and use the IMG Code to post the photo here OR click the little photo icon in the reply box and paste the URL for the photo there.

I see the picture just fine...maybe a browser issue for others...
 
I would say ghost is accurate though that common name is used for several species. They do change color as a normal part of their behavior so it's not unexpected to see them dark, sometimes almost a translucent smoky black.

I see it now.

It's like sasquatch or the loch ness monster! 
 
I do think they are ghost shrimp and the color changing is in keeping with what I've observed with ghosts.

Yea I was going to say the OP may have macrobrachium, but the bright green eggs mentioned in the white saddle is pretty consistent with ghost shrimp!

Ghost shrimp. The one on the left appears to be male as it is smaller than his counterpart.
