Snow_Phoenix Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I picked up three new inverts today from an outbranch of one of my trusted LFS. One of them happens to be this guy: Usually I wouldn't buy an unknown invert, but this fella caught my eye. He certainly looks like a cross between a prawn and a mini CBS, and has already taken to haunting the cave behind my major central LR in the display. Very avid eater of mysis too. Link to comment
Tamberav Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Kind of looks like this guy: http://www.marinelifephotography.com/marine/arthropods/shrimps/brachycarpus-biunguiculatus.htm Link to comment

Dr.Brain Coral Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 It looks like a prawn to me also Link to comment
Snow_Phoenix Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 I think Tam hit the nail on its head with this one. Only difference is the slight difference in markings around the shrimp's pincers - mine has purely red pincers and no candycane stripes - which might indicate either a gender or sub-species variation. Either way, thanks for the ID! Link to comment
