Anyone ever kept one of these?


My LFS has a few in stock. Seem like a prawn behavior wise. No claws like a mantis, just feet like a cleaner. They're a good 2-2.5" or so. They eat frozen well, and bury in the sand when scared. TBH, they remind me of tiny rock lobsters.

Wondering if they're reef compatible but can't find a latin name for them or anyone who has actually kept them before.

To add, I'd probably be putting them with a Pseudochromis cyanotaenia and a pair of clowns in a nano with macroalgae, a few different types of xenia, some shrooms, palys, and a rainbow bubbletip. Not worried about the dottyback going after the shrimp as it's less than half the size of the shrimp...
 
Could you get a full-body side-shot of the shrimp? Top-down shots are not great for shrimp ID.
 
Not the best pics, but here ya go.

Yeah, can’t really see them well enough in the pics - sorry. They’re pretty shrimp though. If you can’t get some clear pics of it, you can try reaching out to that site you linked above and asking them if they have any idea what genus/species it might be.
