So, I picked up two sexy shrimp today. One is another kind of shrimp. Help!

I was giving the person at the store space, because virus, and when I got home I realized that one of them was not a sexy shrimp.

Can someone identify the guy on the bottom for me?

I hope it doesn't mess with anyone, the tank list is:

11 RFAs
2x sexy shrimp (supposed to be 3 now...)
3x bumblebee snails
8x astreas
1x tuxedo urchin

Looks like a Coral banded shrimp to me. They are usually chill but will try to catch and eat small fish

It doesn't seem to have as much coloring on its legs. I got a better shot of it:

Maybe a Pederson Cleaner?

Or a Venus Anemone?

Looks to me like (Periclimenes sp), what species, I have no idea. So if it goes into an anemone, then a anemone shrimp, if it spends time roaming around more than a cleaner type shrimp. Either way it shouldn't mess with anything.

Wow, there are a TON of species of them.

I love how coming home from the LFS with the wrong thing is the opposite of angering, it turns into a whole science project that you can learn a ton from.

Well, as long as it's compatible, and all signs point that way. It might even form a good bond with one of the RFAs!

Thanks for the help, everyone.
