Need help to ID these peppermint shrimps.

[Dule T&T]

Hi guys, I got these peppermints today and I really have no idea are they good L. Wurdemanni or some imposters?
I looked some pics online and these don't look like anything to me.
Keeping them in quarantine tank until I'm sure.

Can anyone help?
Thanks

No, are Peppermint's not imposters. Look at legs, they are red colored.

Check out the great resource in this thread

Peppermint shrimp

Has anyone had any experience with peppermint shrimp not eating aptasia? How long does it take to notice a difference in the aptasia growth after getting peppermint shrimp?

Yes, actually I was watching at the same picture... After I counted all the lines and their positions.... It looks the most similar to "A" to me.... But I could be wrong....

Anyways, there is also this very good resolution picture:

And what I noticed after staring at all of them like a crazy person is that there is one detail that is very different between all these shrimps - and that is this central area on their back:

And when I compared that part with my shrimps - I realized it matches totally.
Even the line pattern on rest of the body...

So, yeah, I am pretty much sure right now that mine are Wurdemanni.
