Bob under any other circumstances we would have to kill you, but seeing as you have proper justification, we will let you live.

As for your shrimp, how does Stenopus zanzibaricus sound? The colouring seems to be a giveaway, but I'm not sure about the body shape of your shrimp. Here's a scan from one of my books.

After consulting my slim volume appropriately named "Armoured Knights of the Sea" by Helmut Debelius I have come up with an ID. They are all Boxer Shrimp. The common everyday one is Stenopus hispidus, The picture Sam provided is Stenopus scutellatum from the Caribbean, mine is Stenopus zanzibaricus from the Indian Ocean.

Well that's good that we agree on something.

I think Lostmind was talking about the picture that I posted last night in that thread. I have the exact same one.



Thanks for the ID guys.
