The freshly minted Degrave’s cleaner shrimp is easy to distinguish from similar shrimp based on coloration and pattern. Nearly all other Urocaridella are clear with red and white spots but U. degravei has red and yellow spots on its body. Furthermore a yellow line runs along the abdomen of Degrave’s cleaner shrimp and it splits into a Y shape on the tail. Distribution throughout Indonesia including Bali and Papua New Guinea.
