I have tried to look up info without much help. The claws look bigger than my other ghost shrimp but not as big as the pictures of the macros I have looked up. I am worried they will attack my betta i saw one jump on him but i dont know if he was trying to attack him or not. My betta didnt react much. I tookthe shrimp out of the tank but am worried to put him back in.

It just looks like a normal glass/ ghost shrimp.

Macrobrachium are normally found in northern Australia, New Guinea and Indonesia. Sometimes they get exported to shops but they cost a bit more than normal glass shrimp. If you caught the shrimp in the wild then it will depend on which country you live in. They are tropical and need warm water so if you found them in a UK river they will not be Macrobrachium.
