Plz identify this shrimp

[mohammad.sga]

I contacted to seller and said it is:
Lysmata kuekenthali - Striped Shrimp . The Striped Shrimp (Lysmata kuekenthali) is said to eat Aiptasia just like Peppermint Shrimp (L. wurdemanni) - supposedly they are even more effective at eradicating this pest. Additionally, this shrimp will clean fish from skin parasites - a truly multi-talented tankmate! They grow up to 5-6 cm large and need a marine aquarium of about 50 liters or more. They are sociable and can be kept in groups of 2 or more if desired.

Neat! Never heard of them!

This seems to be a good alternative to peppermints if they don't go after coral and other desirable stuff when they're done with aptasia like many peps do. Never seen it for sale in the U.S. though.

Usually I trim my peppermint shrimps to eat Aiptasia through feeding them.
I have had kuekenthalis but they didnt eat Aiptasia and the fishes were uninterested.
10 kuekenthalis and 2 small Aiptasia in 12 gallons. And then I put a few of them in my soft coral tank with a few fishes.
