I have bumble bee shrimp for more then a year, don't know the life span, but they seem to be doing well. As far as I know the species (Gnathophyllum amaricanum) lives circumtropical so it's the same no matter where they came from, but others may know different. There are more then one sp in the genus as well, at least 2 in HI, G. americanum and G. precipuum, and maybe others in indo pacific. As I've said, I've never seen them with echinoderms, (but this does not mean they don't eat them) and I feed mine all sorts of frozen and dried foods.
