Purple Coral Banded Shrimp

[JUICE!]

Has anyone else seen these guys for sale? I just picked up a pair of PURPLE coral banded shrimp from WWC this weekend and was wondering if anyone else has seen these anywhere? I was actually looking for a pair of gold ones....these are red and white banded, but the body and legs are purple....pretty neat!

i have seen some with a slight hint of purple on legs, but not body...pics?! i bet they are awsome looking

they ran and hid when I put them in the tank.......plus they are really little.....BUT I can see their little antennae sticking out of their little cave, so hopefully I'll be able to catch them out and about for a quick picture once the settle in.

they are really pretty! One is much darker in color than the second, so I hope they'll pair up. They both are in the same cave so I'll keep my fingers crossed!

I thought about snapping a picture while they were still in the bag, but I figured it would look kinda dumb......now I wish that I had

I actually picked up one yesterday. It is really cool. The body is almost all purple.

yep! that's it! I wonder if they are a rarity, or just a new species to the hobby
