tiger pistol shrimp

Alpheus bellulus

Classification

Family
Alpheidae

The tiger pistol shrimp (Alpheus bellulus) is a species of shrimp belonging to the Alpheidae family, which are commonly known as snapping shrimp. The Alpheidae family is incredibly diverse with over 500 unique species across the world. Alpheus bellulus shares a translocation and inversion event of trnE in its mitogenome with several other Alpheus species but there is not enough evidence to say this is a shared commonality among the entire genus.
