Misnamers? Guess that would depend upon which book you've read and which site you're reading. Wouldn't it? Some of the names you've given are additions (I didn't write down all of the names people call them) But I got my names from Baensch Marine Atlas Vol 1. and this site http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/s...=23&pCatId=525.
The book I am reading (Baensch) says that big differences between the Amboinensis and grabhami is the "A" has dots on the tail and the "G" doesn't. But both have a white stripe down the back.
I've gone to the J&L site, but found it not helpful. In fact, John emailed me saying he cannot sex the shrimp and sell me a M & F when a couple of you have said they are hermaphrodites. And he doesn't carry the Amboinensis species.

It is confusing when animals (and corals for that matter) share so many common names. Don't you think?
