Can some one help me identify what this shrimp is and why is he in my clam...

I just found this online, so I guess the guy is okay.

Safe shrimps and crabs:
Symbiotic shrimp from the family Palaemondidae (Anchistus, Conchodytes and Paranchistus) or small crabs such as Pea Crabs of the family Pinnotheridae may be visible through the inhalant siphon in larger clams.
These animals live inside the clam and do not harm it, although what they eat and what they do for the clam is unknown.

So story goes like this...

I was at the local fish store and saw a nice looking wrasse, thinking nothing of it I asked for the price. $49 was the reply from a empolyee. I got it bagged up and started heading home. Just before I arrived home I got a call from the lfs telling me that wrasse was a rare rhomboid wrasse they had sold to me by mistake.

Long story short, I took the fish back to the lfs. I did decide to do more research on that particular fish since I just been going on a wrasse binge. I realize how much I like this fish, but the issue is the price has increased tremendously to a whopping $599 for the pair. I can't say that I like the price but it is a nice pair of fish.

So, question is should I or shouldn't I.....

Ask yourself when will you see such fine quality fish again and if $ is no object and the wife likes the fish too then you should keep them.

Money is no object for Rich, and the wife will be ok with the pair of Wrasses as long as he tells her that they were $59.99 each.

*We always divide what we spend on Fish Stuff by 10, whenever the wife asks.

Speak for yourself....�� you know I don't hide anything from the boss!�� but I don't usually have to tell her unless if she ask me.
