According to photographer Larry Tackett, a long-time CORAL contributor, the shot was taken in Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Periclemenes yucatanensis is very similar to the Indo-Pacific species shown. See "Click for answer" for the identification.Jim jones says:
When you want the look of brook but dont want brook in your tank you get theee fishClay Trachtman says:
I would really like to get more info on these guys. When they come in from the wholesellers, most are only partially spotted. Of the ones I have seen, very few are truely fully spotted. It seems like maybe 1 in 50 is fully spotted. It makes me think that the spotting is more based on geography than anything else. I personally have 2 of them, both fully spotted.Felicia says:

Unless there’s something different about it, this animal is not from the Pacific. Its Periclemenes yucatanensis, the Spotted anemone shrimp found in Florida and throughout the Caribbean. I’ve caught them in corkscrew and Condylactis anemones here in Florida and the Florida Keys.
