True peppermint shrimp?

[Clownshow]

Are these true peppermint shrimp? They are in quarantine right now and I want to make sure they are safe before I put them in my reef. One is also berried.

The 'True Peppermint' is a Lysmata wurdemanni

(A) Lysmata wurdemanni
(B) Lysmata rathbunae
(C) Lysmata ankeri
(D) Lysmata boggessi
(E) Lysmata pederseni
(F) Lysmata bahia

Helpful post, that dark one looks off. Mine are not dark at all. But I am not a peppermint shrimp expert.

Mine look like (D) Lysmata boggessi, are those reef safe?
