Is it Banded Coral Shrimp or Coral Banded Shrimp?

LiveAquaria says Banded Coral Shrimp
MarineDepotLive, SaltwaterFish, and PetSolutions say Coral Banded Shrimp. What do you think is right?

Coral shrimp is the family and this is the banded variety. Not the other way around.

it's always been CBS, but in this politically/grammatically correct society we're creating, i'm seeing BCS more and more.

It's all ok so long as people understand what you're talking about. It's pretty much just a common name anyways. So I voted either is acceptable.

I agree, Coral Shrimp is the shrimp and then add the adj. before it. BCS although I have always said CBS in the past. It doesnt really make sense to call it CBS though when you really think about it.

A lot of people just call 'em cleaner shrimps. It's nice you gave yours a name, EXPEDITION.
