This is Lysmata boggessi,one of the new described species of the former wurdemanni/rathbunae complex.
This peppermint can be recognized by the pale body and dark tail,without the red saddle marks.It seems to be common in LFS of the Miami area.
See the colour of the eggs,so different to the light green of other Lysmata.
This is a newly hatched larva,zoea1:
Sessile eyes
One piece tail fin
one pair of walking legs and two pairs of swimming legs.
Compare with the z1 of L.amboinensis at http://reefcentral.com/forums/showth...hreadid=846955
