It is not a Urocaridella sp, they are Humpback shrimp and have huge eyes. Their body is also much narrower than Krish pic, which I'm 95 % sure is a Periclemenes sp

Krish you know that rare shrimp you had I found it yep its in one of my old school books a 1982 encyclopeda of marine invertbrates,Edited by jerry G.Walls'
And yes its a periclimenes.That type was a adiverse genus with numerous species,but most are colorless and commensals of little interest to aquarists
and are found in the (Caribbeans) Dr.H.R Axelrod.

LOL! Well, too bad he didn't have a second shot at life so I could have thrown him back to tell the others
Cool man...Thanks! I just need to find another now. The good thing is the way my aquapod will be setup, I won't lose anymore livestock to powerheads
