I belive I may have found It Jay I went back to the Augest/Sept. 05 Coral Magazine and Starting on pg. 84 is a very good artical that Barbara Schmitz & Daniel Knop, Presented. In the photos one of the shrimp gobies looks vary close to your picture Its Name is Cryptocentrus shrimp Gobie and from the picture of your pistol shrimp it looks like its a Alpheus Bellulus pistol shrimp. If you get a chance when Kevin @ Aquatic Dreems gets back from Vacation send Him a Pm and see If he has this Back Issue It is a good Read and worth having if you like having these !!!****#%^&I**& Noise makers in your tanks
Jay I will also post a shot of another couple different species of pistol shrimps I have, The purple ones stay together and the Orange with the big spots stay on oppisite ends of my 150 gallon tank...Jeff
