    We had it in the 125g sump till it took up residence in the hydromoter... so we tossed it in the tank.

    I don't check the salt stuff very much, so sorry for the late response. Maybe, it's a "candy stripe pistol shrimp" from what I can see.

    Here are some of the red shrimp names:
    Alpheus armatus Red Snapping shrimp
    Alpheus sp. "Red Caribbean Pistol Shrimp
