To-Be-Identified Shrimp
12/16/12
Hi Bob,
<Lynn>
Just saw the gorgeous shrimp from IZOO, listed as “to-be-identified”, on
today’s dailies. It appears to be Alpheus soror, aka the “Bullseye
Pistol Shrimp”.
<Ah yes; thank you>
I’ve seen them available on the ‘net listed as such, but found a listing
in Debelius’ Crustacean Guide of The World (2001), page 147. It
lists length up to 3.5cm, distribution as “Maldives, Sri Lanka,
Philippines, probably widespread to IWP”. It also goes on to state
that the two photos listed “show an undescribed species, possibly of the
Alpheus diadema-group. It has purple walking legs, and a conspicuous
large ocellus on the second abdominal segment.”. Hope that helps!
<Indeed it does... And I do have this work... in fact, Helmut is an olde
(we're no longer middle age) friend... He and friends met up w/ us some
Interzoo's ago in Dipelsdorf! >
Take care,
-Lynn Z
<Will do. Now down in Cozumel; sans JoshS unfortunately. His cold/flu is
too bad. BobF>
<I'm sorry to hear about Josh, but am glad that you're no doubt having
some good times/diving in Cozumel. Enjoy and Happy Holidays! -Lynn
<<Ah yes. And to you and your husband. BobF>>

Naso lituratus,
the Naso Tang to most aquarists; it is also
known as the tricolor or lipstick tang. There are some who claim
that "blonde" and "streamer" versions are
different species; they're all Naso lituratus, with
males growing longer streaming caudal filaments. To some twenty
inches long (w/o the tail!) in the wild. A juvenile in CT.

Sphaeramia nematoptera
(Bleeker 1856), the Pajama Cardinalfish. West Pacific. To three
inches in length. A long-standing favorite in the aquarium trade.
Second perhaps only to the Banggai in use. IZOO 2010 |
