Looks like a chela grabbing the Chaeto. Possibly the major and/or minor pereiopod of a Caridean? Would love to see a video of how it moves.

Wooo! @Lovemyreef2015 for the win!I believe it belongs to a Macrobrachium nobilii. It's a type of pistol shrimp.

I edited my original post, the pic is correctI'm new to the hobby, but when I search for the scientific name it comes up as a freshwater prawn (shrimp) living in rivers. Is this possibly the same shrimp? What am I missing?

The best I could do with researching? Not a scientist by any means, just try to do the best I can with helping members. Also, that species is more common to find as a hitchhiker in the hobby.How'd you determine Genus + species from the pics?
