Here is what I believe to be a pair of "dwarf red lobsters" but I can't find them in any refrence book... any idea what they are? genus even?
They are about 0.5", with the left individual slightly larger. Antenna are several times the length of the body

Looking at those claws, and the body, i'd say thats a shrimp of some kind. Definitly not a Lobster

Kinda looks like a cross between a Coral Banded and a Fire Shrimp lol

They look like crimson coral shrimp:
Microprosthema semilaeve, although it has a similar body shape to the squat lobster.
