Howdy folks! First post here. Found in the dip of a shipment of corals from Indonesia, not positive what colony it came out of. Any ideas what it could be? Body shape resembles a bumblebee shrimp.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

What corals were in the shipment?

That's got the body shape of a coral-commensal shrimp (similar to Bumblebee Shrimp, but with a narrowing where the head and body join together, followed by the body immediately after the narrow spot widening dramatically before tapering back down toward the tail - Balssia and Coralliocaris species are some examples), so it is probably reef-safe.
