How do you tell the difference between Lysmata amboinensis and Lysmata
grabhami ? Just curious.
Thanks TimG

Apparently the only difference between the two is where they are located and the temperatures they can withstand.

Amboinensis being from Indo-Pacific region (20-27°C).
Grabhami being from the Atlantic (18-28°C).

"In the Atlantic ocean Lysmata grabhami, very similar, considered the same species by some authors." Read this when researching the Amboinensis.
