Hello you all,

I'm just wondering if anybody can ID this Pistol Shrimp.
He is brown, and has a yellow stripe down his back. The claws are bright orange/yellow, and his legs and tentacles are bright blue.

Thanks for any help
Manuela

Manuela, welcome to reefs.org!

I've seen pics of this shrimp before in a book, but the species name escapes me right now.

Here's a list that might help you in your search.

That page mentions A. formosus and armillatus have common names of 'striped' or 'banded'...unfortunately I can't find images online of either of these species.

Hmmm...I think I remember reading a book recently that had a pic of one of those guys...dunno why but the name "Rainbow Shrimp" comes to mind...

Course I'm probably wrong, but it's a start!
