Lysmata sp. 2
25mm

This appears to be a species of Lysmata. In color it resembles the one we are calling Lysmata sp. 1 but with more red and narrower white lines. It also resembles Lysmata seticaudata, a species from the Atlantic and Mediterranean. It also could be a color variety of our Lysmata ternatensis. More specimens would be needed to try to sort these out. This individual was under a rock on the seaward reef.
