Shrimp ID

I have added a couple of shrimps seen below, in the hopes for aiptasia cleaning, but band patterns are a lot different then L. wurdemanni. Do you have any guess ?

Also, here is a video of whats happening shortly after transfer the shrimps to tank:

Bump, interested. Cleaner seems pretty mean in the video.

Those are not peppermint shrimp, I have only had good luck with copperbanded butterflies.

It's either a Lysmata hochi (which is a newly described species known to be found in the Caribbean Panama and Florida) or the close relative of Lysmata kuekenthali.

Finally some answers after 60 visits, thanks a lot for the bump and answers, It is very unlikely to be a newly discovered species, therefore I guess it should be L. kuekenthali, which I just read some good things about.

This means wurdemanni is not alone in aiptasia hunt.
Although after 3 days, all the ugly guys (aip) are still holding their positions,
bad guys (cleaners) are drifting around for a seek&destroy mission,
and good guys (guess) are hiding under stones and caves (didnT see one of them in last 24h, so there may be only one good guy left..)
