Another Lembeh shrimp: Mr. Invisible

[scubamarli 5]

Here's another one. Looks like a Vir sp., but not one that I have ever seen. Similar to what I knew as Periclimenes inornatus. without markings or spots. Any clues appreciated.

 

Cheers,

It seems to be albino!

The thought occurred to me, as well. But an albino what???

As it's sitting in a Euphyllia coral, my money is on Vir euphyllius. Page 122 in the new Humann and Deloach Tropical Pacific Reef Creature ID book. The white eyes and stripe are like the 1st picture and the legs are like the 2nd picture. If you don't have this book then get it. It's helped me make a huge number of IDs.

There's usually a white patch or two on Vir euphyllius...hopefully we'll figure this one out. The book is really good; I got one in pre-release back in October.
