Shrimp quest ends

Finally got one of these emperor shrimps I've been seeking for over a year since discovering them on a Japanese reef website. Actually, our LFS had one with it's symbiotic medusa worm awhile back, but I couldn't afford the $100+ price tag. Not home yet, but should be soon. It's amazing what you can find sometimes in California...
BTW, not my picture.

Yeah, I remember seeing it at the LFS... Its pretty cool how they just ride them along playing hitchhiker... I wasn't aware that they had the same symbiosis with nudibranchs and other animals as well as that medusa worm... Neat grab... Can't wait to see it...
