Shrimp scientific name problem

[The Publisher]

Jim Lyle, made an awesome trip report for an expedition to the Lembeh Straits. He's a noted underwater photographer.

A direct link to his photo can be found here

Compare that to the shrimp I shot at the 59 second mark in the top video in this thread

Now I get a great kick out of Jim writing in the scientific names of his subjects.....and he identified his shrimp shot as a Dasycaris sp, and I think it is the zanzibarica as in Dasycaris zanzibarica.

I identified the shrimp in my HD video as Percilmenes zanzibaricus.

They look identical to me, hence my confusion.

I found it listed as Dasycaris zanzibarica in my books.

So what is the difference between a Dasycaris zanzibarica and a Periclimenes zanzibaricus?

One is a Dasycaris and the other is a Periclimenes! One was found in the Seychelles and the other in the Philippines?

Nah, they're both from Zanzibar! lol
