ASAP

[tinydove]

Hey all, I just got my 2nd order from SWF and in the order I got a bubble coral and in the same bag that it came in I got a lil' shrimp, it is small and looks like it has red coloring here is a pic not the greatest but it was small and hard to focus on about an inch long. Is it OK to put in my tank and does any1 know what kind it is?

i can't tell because it is very small, but if it came in on a bubble coral, it could be a Periclimenes, common name (pederson's shrimp) it host's on several different types of bubbled tip corals and anemones. in extreme starvation it may feed on the tentacles of it host, but is reef safe. but i'm not sure if this is what you have. maybe someone else with more knowlledge can help you. good luck with it, i hope it grows up to be a great addition to your tank
