I found this shrimp at my LFS. It looks very similar to lystmata boggessi except for the very white base color. Any ideas?

Side view, maybe consider L. seticaudata? - http://www.mbisite.org/Forums/tm.aspx?m=39004

Matt's eyes must be better than mine - that pic is too small for me to see.
Don't let fear and common sense stop you! =]

I think I concur now with Andy Rhyne (if anyone should know, he should). Andy, any idea why it has the saddles and somewhat opaque coloration? Stress or Disease?

This shrimp died about a week ago. It very well could have been some stress factor seeing it only lived a couple weeks here.
