As per thread title really.

This little monster was sold as a Blue Tiger Shrimp but I've never seen one with claws like those.

Anyone know what it really is? Closest I can get is a Chamaeleon Shrimp but they don't tend to stay Blue.

My guess for a shrimp would be some species of Macrobrachium, where some species of males have one claw bigger than the other.
