Andy needs his rare shrimp fix Steve, hook the brother up

 

[clarionreef]

Yes,
The red dot fairy shrimp and alphestes comensel shrimps abound.

The cebu shrimps and nano reef gobies come to us thanks to the watchful eyes of some Australian collectors who helped develop Cebu into something different then Manila. These species were there for decades before the Aussies got em into the pipeline.

Ah, come on Andy, you've seen export lists Have you ever seen them ID something new, even remotely correct? Neon gobies from PI ring any bells

They can't even ID over 1/2 their own fish from this Cebu collector :?

 

[spawner]

yea, yea, I am not that stupid your right. I'll post a picture, picture is worth a 1000 words anyway right.

Gresham make sure you pack up your handgun, cause you can't have it after April any more, you guys on the left coast just kill me.

Urocaridella sp.

Lysmatella prima

Steve,

I'll mail 100 USD check/MO/wire transfer/paypal whatever method to the collector, but it has to the guy who found them for a pair or small group of Lysmatella prima. I can even get you GPS points. I had two collected for me in INDO, but those were fixed and used in DNA work. I can't seem to get them off of the remote islands. They are deep, 30 meters or so. Not that easy to see.

Handgun? Nah, no handgun here, just a mini-14

Red dot looks more like the first and nothing like the last one.

No handguns after April? Why?

 

[spawner]

I figured the first one was the red spotted fairy shrimp.

The second one is the one I really want. Willing to pay good money for it.

You guys in SF just voted to ban them.

 

[Anonymous]

Ah, neither of us are actually in SF. Steve's in Hayward, and I'm in Santa Cruz

Isn't there a Lysmatella outa the Sea of Cortez?

 

[spawner]

NO,

There are several species of Lysmata, which i would like to have as well, but no lysmatella. Different genus different biology.

I used to have 4 Urocaridella shrimp I picked up at ASAP. They are great little cleaners. They hover like spaceships and wave their claws back and forth. Weird little shrimpies.

I've seen the Lysmatella at ASAP before too. Looks like a peppermint but a little paler and more parallel striping.

 

[spawner]

Matt,

What is ASAP?

If you ever see them, buy them and I'll pay you to ship them to the East Coast.
