ID Please

Just picked up this little guy from my LFS. I'm pretty sure it's a male L.Maculata, but I'm just checking.

Hmm... that little guy looks a lot like a ghost shrimp to me. Oh wait! You mean the BIG guy! Sorry, couldn't resist. =)

Nice! When do we get the feature length feeding video?

Yes sandbed is much better than the one they had him in. He actually had a horizontal burrow at the fish store.

The feeding video will be up after he is in the tank and ready for his big debut! He is still acclimating at the moment.
