Acro shrimp ID

Hey
Just bought this acro shrimp. When my lfs said they had acro shrimp i thought they had the machine gun shrimp but this is definitely not that. It kinda look likes something from banded coral shrimp family.

Looks like Stenopus earlei, Earl's Coral Shrimp/the Two-Stripe Coral Shrimp. They're a cleaner shrimp that likes caves, crevices, and ledges, and they're reportedly reef-safe.

Edit: Just to add, they're pretty rare and quite pricy when available in the hobby (I've seen them offered for $100 and $160, and only in Australia).

Nice, yeah that looks like it! Thank you! Let see how it does and act with nano gobies. It doesn't go after small acro crabs so far
