    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.
