Hey folks, it's been a while since I last came online. On may way home from work today & called my local lfs for something and was told to swing by to check out 2 odd livestocks. All snapped by my basic iPhone.
A. What is this ultra white body shrimp ID as? Has a tinge of faint yellow on the head area and 2 red dots on the mid section. This specific shrimp intrigued my curiosity and I brought it home instead.
B. A pair of Red Lima shrimps. These pair are very small and a Nano set up would be ideal.
Thank you.

1. Looks like Stenopus devaneyi. Its pretty uncommon to come across and is in the same Genus as the more famous Banded Coral Shrimp (Stenopus hispidus).

Hi, yes I am local. I’m from West Malaysia though, Selangor.
