Harpiliopsis spinigera (Ortmann, 1890)

Although they look a little different, these both appear to fit the description of Harpiliopsis spinigera, a small shrimp associated with Pocilloporidae corals. The first was found in a colony of Stylophora in about 1m of water at Aur Atoll by Raphaël Forns. The second was by Jay Lord in a Pocillopora colony in Kwajalein lagoon.
