It turns out my shrimp is not a true coral banded shrimp but instead a golden coral shrimp. Darn it! I am swaping it hopefully on friday for a true coral shrimp as I like the coloration much more. This one has a golden body and I thought maybe thats just what a juvanille looked like. But upon purchasing my new nifty little book: Marine Invertibrates by Ronald Shimek I have learned otherwise. there are three types.

I also got some new snails today. Maybe you can help ID them? Form looking at my new book they appear to be either Nerites or Turbos but I think turbos are large? These are maybe 1/4-1/2 inches but they seem pretty speedy?
