Humpback shrimp?
Metapenaeopsis lamellata is the scientific name. Has anyone ever had these? Unique looking shrimps with no aggressive claws and huge eyes. Looks reefsafe? Input?

One site claims they are "quite destructive to sessile invertebrates and will greatly reduce your tank's biodiversity"

At one time I remember people keeping them in a sump to eat flatworms on infested sps corals, but in a main tank they may keep picking at acros till the skeleton. Never heard that they eat zoas but I guess they are kinda like sexy shrimp that feed on coral mucus.
