Shrimp ID

[TerraFerma]

Anyone have thoughts on what type of shrimp these are?

They are about 2" and I believe came from Indo.

Not sure, but they’re pretty cool. Kind of looks like a shrimp from Odontozona species

Good guess! They appear to be Odontozona rubra, from the Eastern Pacific.

If anyone sees these for sale - avoid them! They have killed off nearly all of my other shrimp and possibly a Randall's goby.

Randomly stumbled upon this thread, hope you don't mind the ID. Definitely not Odontozona.
It is a Brachycarpus species. Refer to Brachycarpus biunguiculatus as an example. These shrimps are very aggressive and will eat just about anything they can - I have seen them eat small shrimps and fish. Very nocturnal as well. Not a great candidate for a reef tank. Quite unusual they ended up in a fish store - they tend to be found in rocky crevices with large amounts of wave action, not particularly rare though.

Don't mind the ID at all! These things were absolutely horrible. I probably could have put a market spot prawn in my tank and things would have turned out better.
