peppermint shrimp id

[Leilani57]

is there a visual way to tell if i just bought a carribean or pacific peppermint shrimp? I wanted a caribbean one to eat up my aptasias but wasn't sure how to tell the difference between the two.......

thanks!

You may also have luck posting in the "other invertebrates" forum, as this one is solely devoted to mantis shrimp. That being said, I didn't know there was a difference between carribbean and pacific as to eating aptasia, but if you've already bought it couldn't you just wait to see if it eats them?
