Annette Graves Whip Coral Shrimp (Dasycaris zanzibarica)? :)

Ron Silver l'd suggest this species as an alternative: Pontonides unciger, wire coral shrimp.

Annette Graves Sorry Jose, just seen a similar one of your shots on another website, and you have already done an ID, was only trying to help, great shot :)

Davide Barzazzi Perfecto!

Jose Maria Abad Ortega Yes Annette It is a Whip Coral Shrimp :) but I think that is Pontonoides uncover Ron Silver

Fabio Strazzi very nice

Jose Maria Abad Ortega Gracias Davide

Ken Thongpila simply beautiful... Nice shot!

Stefan Follows cheers ken :)

Blogie Robillo I've long been trying to ID this shrimp...

Blogie Robillo Sorry about the clarity of the picture... Arne Kuilman, maybe you have an idea what this is? :)

Kati Burg I would say it is Dasycaris zanzibarica.

Blogie Robillo Thanks, Kathrin. D. zanzibarica looks awfully like Pontonides unciger, doesn't it?

Kati Burg Yes they do. Dasycaris zanzibarica has a hunchback. P. unciger not. Or was it the other way around? I get confused, too.

Blogie Robillo I think it's the other way around? :)

Arne Kuilman This is Pontoides unciger (is usually the clear one too). Dasycaris zanzibarica has large humps on the thorax and abdomen and long chelipeds. zanzibarica is a shrimp with a 'rougher' look, more angular extrusions.

Blogie Robillo Arne Kuilman - So, this is a color form? Or an albino?

Bob Whorton Their color varies with the host, from dk blue to white.

Blogie Robillo I see! Thanks, Bob. :)
