Ok I read a post on here about someone trying to give away / sell this shrimp that was white with blue dots and it only ate sea stars. Does anybody know what it was called or have the original post? I wanted to show my wife the pic but couldn't find it.

Thanks,
Shawn

sounds like a Harlequin shrimp.

Is this it?

FYI, there are two species. One has blue markings, the other has wine colored markings. I believe Hymenocera picta and elegans are the species names.
