Default Please help ID shrimp!

What kind of shrimp is this? And most importantly, is it compatible with RCS? Please let me know! Thanks!

My LFS is selling them for $3 a piece. Good price or no?

Hello
look like a malasian maybe. better pics of color would help, but theres some shrimp gurus that can identify for sure.
