well.. the bad news is I'm still fighting zoa eating nudies... (I know... my fault, impulse purchase w/ no quarantine) but while I was dipping tonight as I saw another one, this shrimp (looked like a mini lobster dove out. Tossed him back in the tank, and he seems ok. any Idea on ID? I know pics arn't so good, my camara just can't focus that close.

He's about 1" long, claws are about 1/4 of that length black stripes along the tail, kinda green in the body.

perhaps a juvi pistol shrimp? these are the best I could do for pics. He's right in the crevese of the rock, center of the first pic.

Indeed, I don't see a crustacean in those pictures. I assume it's somewhere in those first two?

Try taking a pic with flash so the dark shrimp doesn't blend in as well with the dark rock. Unfortunately, can't see anything.

Also, if you have a photo program, try lightening the phot so it sticks out more.
