Hello,

I'm have some questions about a shrimp that i got, if it's a wundermanni or rathbunae.

Could you be so nice to help with this ID?

Youtube short video:



Thanks!

Why do you think it is L. wurdemanni?

I would be more likely to label it L. boggessi given the wide orange bars between the thinner red bars.

@Bongo Shrimp

Thank you for solving this ID. The picture is very accurate, the shrimp looks very very much like a Boggessi, maybe the tail is not as black as in the image, but he has orange body, rather then the white on Wundermanni.

My focus was on the rostrum, from what i was reading the Wundermanni has a shorter one, and the picture is very accurate in this aspect also. The rostrum is very long.

(Got the shrimp for the obvious reason, eating aipatsia, was killing it off with Aipatsia X, but left out 4 small ones for him to eat. Two nights have passed, saw him on the rocks, but he has not touch the aipatsias)

Thanks,

You're welcome! Sometimes it takes a little while for the shrimp to start eating aptasia. Try to feed the tank less to keep the shrimp hungry and if it doesn't help in a few weeks, I would suggest trying a small group of the shrimp.

"Sometimes it takes a little while for the shrimp to start eating aptasia"

Very true, took him one week to get his courage up, then in two nights wiped all aiptasia out (only had 4 small ones for him).

All good. Thanks again @Bongo Shrimp for the ID.
