Mystery "peppermint" shrimp ID please

[Moolis Moolman]

Hi Reefers

I am confused I received this as a wild peppermint shrimp but this does not look like a peppermint to me.
Can anyone ID it for me please?

Hmm, many Lysmata species...if it's even a Lysmata. I was thinking an odd coloured kuekenthali (the Indo-Pacific "peppermint") at first glance. This is in Polish or something, but it's got the scientific names:

Rodzaj Lysmata - Inne bezkrêgowce - nano-reef.pl

More pics from top-down and with/without flash would help.

Next time I have time I will attempt to take more pictures. I am even more confused after looking at that link.

I did not see any pattern when I took the picture and all the L kuekenthali pictures I get are with a pattern?

I went through all my books even the World atlas from Debelius (where I normally find what I need) without any success
