Banded Coral Shrimp

Also called: Banded boxer shrimp, banded prawn, coral banded shrimp and barber-pole shrimp.

Scientific name: Stenopus hispidus

Apparently, even though it has "shrimp" in its name, this popular little guy is not a shrimp or a prawn, it belongs to a species that is distinct from either.

Please note: Identification of fish, corals, etc. is a tricky business. It's entirely possible that I've incorrectly identified a photo I've taken. If you spot an error, please contact me so I can correct it and improve this resource.
