    Ocean Fishing (Sirensong Spectral Current) - Jade Shrimp does not count as Shrimp

    Date & Time: Observed 2023-05-24 11:00am CDT (approx)
    Frequency: Always
    Area and coordinates: Ocean Fishing (The High Seas) > The Sirensong Sea

    Steps:
    1. Go speak to Dryskthota to board an ocean fishing voyage, and register for a Ruby Route voyage. (Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks x:3.0, y:12.7) This is only available at certain times.
    2. In the Sirensong Sea (the first stop on either Ruby Route), have someone on the boat trigger a Spectral Current. This is triggered by catching a Spectral Coelacanth, but is not guaranteed to trigger the event. It appears that this can be caught with any of Ragworm, Krill, or Plump Worm.
    3. During the Spectral Current, catch the Jade Shrimp. Krill appears to be the only bait confirmed for catching the Jade Shrimp.
    4. Note that the Jade Shrimp does not have a Shrimp icon associate with it or the catch log entry, and does not count toward progress on the "Catch Shrimp or Squid" goal.

    The item tooltip for the Jade Shrimp is the following:
    "A beautiful jade-colored shrimp that is the envy of many a sea creature."

    The Fish Guide description for the Jade Shrimp is the following:
    "Making its home in the Sea of Jade, this species of mantis shrimp is well known for the breathtaking green of its carapace[...]"
    EDIT: After further research, mantis shrimp are not a species of shrimp.

    EDIT: Based on the EN localization of the tooltip for this creature, it appears that it should be considered a Shrimp. Based on the EN localization of the fish guide, this is a mantis shrimp (which is NOT a shrimp).
    Suggested remedy: Changes to the EN tooltip to clarify that this is not actually a species of shrimp.
