It looks like a type of Stenopus shrimp... related to coral banded. Same body structure.

Thanks for the info Tim,

Hmmm...I just googled stenopus shrimp and it does seem to share the body shape more so than a glass anemone shrimp. Any idea what it's called? Coral banded shrimp seems to be the only stenopus that I can find info on (which I don't believe the case since it lacks the red bands on its body)

Thanks,

Joe

There are several different types of Coral Banded Shrimp. I did notice some typical colouration in the pic... the purplish areas around some joints. Don't know why it's translucent.
