So i was adding all my inverts to a app on my phone

I did not know the name of one of my shrimp i have seen it cleaning fish in the past and it’s transparent so i searched clear cleaner shrimp and looks to me like its a Urocaridella renatekhalafae (recently discovered 2018) the thing is i have it since 2016 so how do discovering new species work or its something totally different i purchased it from a lfs that had no clue what it was at that time i was very into small and transparent shrimp

Photo of it at night i don’t have a daytime photo as its hard to find it out and about during the day

I'm not sure if it might be either a male/female color thing or possibly a juvenile/adult color thing.

Interesting don’t know
Ive had mine over 2 years and the pattern/ color has not changed so not a juvenile adult thing
Im very curious how to tell the difference between them
