Atya gabonensis is a species of freshwater shrimp from West Africa. Note that accounts of its occurrence in South America are erroneous, and likely another species (Atya scabra). It is an omnivorous filter feeder that uses feather-like claspers to filter particles from the water. It can grow to 15 centimetres (6 inches). It has many common names, including African fan shrimp, African filter shrimp, African giant shrimp, vampire shrimp, blue rhino shrimp, Gabon shrimp, and Cameroon fan shrimp.
