Shrimp question (Bali)

Hi,

does anybody know, which species this shrimp is?

Looks like some kind of anemone shrimp or commensal shrimp but I can't find the right one.

Shot on a nightdive.

Thanks in advance,

It appears to be Periclimenes inornatus .

Thanks for your answer!

Did you look it up in a book or did you find any reliable infos in the web?

The images I found made me even more confusing...

I have several sources for crustaceans (books). There is a Periclimenes ornatus and a P. inornatus to create even more confusion! Reef Creature Identification by Humann and Deloach picture a similar one as Unidentified. This Japanese sire shows the variability:

Pericimenes inornatus

Thank you, Marli!

Huuhh, that's complicated stuff...

If you were me, would you leave it with Pereclimenes sp.?

Probably a good idea. Shrimp taxonomy has been revised a lot lately.

Ok - but anyway: Thanks for your help!
