Need help with pistol shrimp ID!

[crysber]

Hey all! New here, I purchased what was labeled “pistol shrimp” from a website. I am not sure what kind of shrimp I got, any help appreciated! I have posted the picture from the website and a few pics of my actual shrimp, I really wanted it to pair with a YWG but I would like to figure out the ID before I purchase a goby.

Hard to tell from the pictures, but it looks like a faded Randall's. I had one paired with a yasha haza in my last tank.

The vendor picture is clearly a different shrimp, the one you got looks to be related to the Tiger pistol which is perfectly safe for shrimp.
