    Default Shrimp Indentification

    Hi all
    Need your help to identify this shrimp. It came together with the starry night/ white orchids I ordered from LFS. Body is slightly translucent, white shinny spots around body and it does a circular fanning motion with it's fore limbs. I'm guessing it's a sort of fan shrimp. And it's not shy.

    Thanks imke_j. Yes it's confirm a C.longidigita. A very interesting shrimp and always roaming around the tank. It's totally not shy at all. It behaves like a cherry shrimp, I would say. Always first to feed whevwr I drop any food.

    Sorry everyone, recently went to LFS again and the boss showed me a new Sulawesi that came in, but it's very sensitive so the only one I saw was already dead. The rest are snapped up before I came.

    Beautiful right, but extremely sensitive.Anyone have any idea what is it?

    Harlequin shrimp or Caridina spongicola. Take care of it difficult.
