      “Can anyone confirm the species of shrimp seen in the above video?”

      Sure I can, the commensal snapping shrimp is Alpheus rubromaculatus which almost exclusively lives with Lotilia graciliosa.

      The clear shrimp hovering over the substrate are hard to see well, but appear to have two faint white marks on their backs. By the way they hover or swim about they could be of the genus Urocaridella.

      Hey Kevin, thanks for chiming in. I should have clarified, my comment was in refrence to the clear shrimp. I also suspect them to be Urocaridella, but was not able to find anything on point.
