That would be Periclimenes holthuisi unless some clever taxonomist has come along & split it up into different species. It has an interesting life style. During the day it hangs out among anemones where it feeds by clipping off pieces of the tentacles. At night when the anemone closes up the shrimp moves down to the column or off the anemone completely.

Thank you Leslie. It will be great when I have the correct keywords with everything.
