Can it be possible?

I have only two shrimp (lysmata amboinensis) and yesterday I saw that one of them was carrying eggs which is normal but this morning I saw the other with eggs too. I have them since January and they had not have contact with any male. Can they be hermaphrodites? I've read shrimp are not that but that's the only explanation..... right?

I know, sounds crazy, but I have them in my tank 8O

Yeah, they are hermies... they tend to switch off who's the "mom"

One plays the 'mom' When she releases her eggs, she gets to play the 'dad'
