It could be an alternative name for Taiwan Bees. Check it out and let us know. Formosa is the former name for Taiwan.

My Tangerine Tigers are believed to be in the same family of shrimps. Similar dot and stripe patterns, except mine is fully orange. Nice looking shrimps that pic you linked to. They will cross breed with Caridinias.

Old thread, but as I like the look of c. formosae a lot, I liked to add this link from Andreas Karge's website (PDF): http://www.caridea.de/archiv/pdf/caridina_formosae.pdf It is nearby the serrata group, but a different species.

Here is one I had:

The pictures in the article sure are pretty though.
