I wondered if I could encourage discussion about this beautiful shrimp, Lysmata debelius. I purchased one several months ago, finding after I was home that I had paid almost $30 for it. (This is not the first time I failed to inquire the price of an animal purchased for my tank. I would not have paid this much, had I been diligent.)
At any rate, the shrimp is a vivid, bright red with white spots with long white feelers. I figured I'd added some great color in the tank. Well, not exactly. This is a very, very shy shrimp, and I seldom see him in my tank. I have seen him hanging out in a cove cleaning a fish.
Just a note... Shrimp and starfish, especially, needed added time to acclimate to a new tank.
