If Challenging Existing Classification
Reasons Species Should be Reclassified:

If Requesting New Classification
Research or Links to information on Species:	Rhyne, A.L. & J. Lin, 2006. A western Atlantic peppermint shrimp complex: Redescription of Lysmata wurdemanni, description of four new species, and remarks on Lysmata rathbunae (Crustacea: Decapoda: Hippolytidae).— Bulletin of Marine Science 79: 165-204.

Other Details
Other Information:	Not sure how it is decided that a Lysmata peppermint shrimp is A or B, and I can't get the full length article (or even an abstract) for the Rhyne paper about them so I can't really give any additional information. This species isn't in SeaLifeBase or FishBase so I used the WoRMS page.

3/3/14 11:11 PM Do you have access to Andy's paper on settlement? Eg. for a larval time? I believe that's really the divergence between A and B for species in this complex...longer larval duration = more chances to screw up = more points awarded.

3/3/14 11:23 PM Personal communication with Dr. Rhyne revealed the following: 1. Short [larval duration for a species of the complex] but you have to have the sponge for them to settle. 2. I had them spontaneously settle in a 135 days with out the sponge. 3. Difficult to even find, unless you "[get] someone to go dig some out of sponges." Which, I would assume, would also be the specific type of sponge required for proper quick settlement.

3/4/14 08:45 AM Lovely...Well here's to hoping now that I DON'T have this species lol. Time to pull each one for a photoshoot and really get down to determining the species of this group.
