White Pistol Shrimp?

[Inigma]

I was on Saltwaterfish.com and saw they have a white pistol shrimp to add to your wish list. Any one ever seen one in real life? When I google white pistol shrimp, I can't really find much. I wanna know more.

I have collected white pistol shrimp, different sp then the one listed on saltwaterfish.com, but looks similar. I prefer the colored up ones, there are red, yellow and my favorite is yellow and red striped. I keep a lot of shrimp, but I don't have any pistols as IMO they hide too much. I did however just set up a 54 gal pie shaped tank for some macro algae and one of the things I want to put in it is a pistol-goby pair. I know a place where there are lots of pistols that share their burrow with siminole gobies. Not the prettiest, but ones that I can collect as a pair.

know a good place to order from? I want a few different species. I really like all different kinds of shrimps.

I am very lucky, I haven't bought a fish or invert for my tanks since I moved to south Florida 12 yeears ago, so I don't usually look at vendors. It does limit the sp I can keep (no stony corals of any kind are legal to collect) but I enjoy the diving and challange of collecting as much as the actual tank. I also have family in HI so I spend at least a month a year collecting and diving there as well, it keeps me out of trouble.
