That's it...I've always thought of it as a musky lemon peel odor.  I used 
to keep some in a tank under a glass canopy and the smell would be so 
strong when I'd open the top, it would almost knock me down.  B. 
caroliniana also has furry, white-haired stems especially evident where 
emersed..

Nice pics, btw, Chuck.  That wood shrimp's gorgeous.  What kind of camera 
are you using?
