Cool little critters Idiomysis Shrimp

[Ben's Pico Reefing]

Instagram popped up with these little guys called Idiomysis Shrimp. I was wondering if anyone has ever seen them in the hobby. Would love to get some of these. It seems though these are still newly discovered and don't know the status as they are not easily found so I very unlikely anyone has kept or seen available. But maybe in the future.

I've never heard of them, but they are cool looking! I wonder how they'd do in mixed reefs. They're very small and look like they'd be easy targets for fish and bigger CUC. But they're cute little guys!

I agree maybe not for large tanks with fish, but picos and small tanks would be neat. Though they seem to be hard to find and may be difficult to ship.
