Shrimp Identification Help Please

[salvadoroars]

Hi guys, I need help. Anyone knows what kind of shrimp this is? I've tried searching the forum but some of the images are either deleted or removed. So here it is.







I have two of these inside my tank. They're about an inch long but really thin. Should I pull them out? I'm keeping a reef aquarium by the way.

Long nose shrimp aka rock shrimp aka plumed shrimp. Leander plumosus

nice catch bro. quite rare in the hobby. Also this shrimp is cryptic.

thank god! thank you! I've been searching the net for days! you won't believe what i typed down on the search engines just to get an idea. haha. and I only got the chance to take the picture last night. now i know what they are! but have no idea how to keep them healthy. and i'll be anxious for the following days since you said they're quiet rare in the hobby. i mean, i have a coral branded shrimp in the tank, and i HEARD they eat SOME of their own. and i saw it eating a pistol shrimp the other day. or maybe the pistol died and then he ate it? any ideas how to keep them? anyway, Thank YOUUU again!

Looks cool! Congrats on the find! Where did you get that anyways?

Nice shrimp. You may want to remove that coral banded shrimp aka boxer shrimp as they will definitely chow the shrimps down. Happened to me on my last tank and thank God i dont keep one now.

@shandy_say I got it from a Cartimar shop (the first one when you enter from the plants shop.) They were in those floating little bags along with a lot of pistols and some of them invisible shrimps (i forgot the name) and I thought they were odd-looking and so i bought them. I guess I got lucky. or not kung pumapatay pala sila. haha. the net gives so little info about keeping them.

@naivete oh noo. do you think the long nose shrimp will do good with a scarlet skunk shrimp instead?

I see. Well good luck with that! Keep us posted on how it does.
