Never flush anything. Not only is it horrible for the enviroment but wasteful... give it away or sump it...

Harpiliopsis spiniger is the shrimp you have. They host pocillopora corals.
 
Thank you

Thank for the info:)
The flushing thing it was just a way to said that I was going to kill it!
Trust me I know better that that.
 
It's a pretty shrimp... I'd keep it! Most hosting shrimp are harmless to the coral, if I remember correctly, and it looks cool.
 
Of course the coral hosts, the shrimp associates. Just has hotels host, people associate with them.
 
These types of commensal shrimps are usually good for colonies, but can bother smaller frags. How big was the shortcake?
