Can you help ID this pistol? (The one in front of that YWG 
)
(photo credit goes to the owner of that fish shop)
To me it looks like Alpheus bellulus, but I am 'oceans away' from being an expert in shrimp taxonomy. I must admit that I am a bit surprised by the size of shrimp when compared to the goby. Maybe this is an adult shrimp and a juvenile goby?
TL;DR: I am 'hunting' for YWG + A.bellulus, and this pair is currently on the market. These pairs are rare (and rather expensive) in Australia, so I am both excited and nervous.
