Its probably a carribean version of Alpheus sp. .. i commonly see it in the divers den on LA ... tan\orangey color with a carmel stripe down its back too ?

I have one thats mean to everything so it has its own tank so it stops killing things. I put cool crabs in with him too since he leaves them alone. I have another paired up with a pair of yellow watchman gobies

Sounds like a Bullseye Pistol Shrimp. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=1147&N=0
