Default LR Stow-Away Shrimp ID

I picked up a new piece of Live rock last night for my tank, and as soon as
I dropped it in, out pops a shrimp who then immediately burrows a hole under
anoter piece of rock. He has all the markings of a Skunk Cleaner, so at
first I was satisfied to think that he was. But, then I noticed he had two
very large claws in front, and made a snapping sound, like a trigger or
pistol shrimp, but I have never seen one of those with Skunk markings, or a
Skunk with large claws. So my question goes, what the hell is it? LOL I
would offer a pic but he's burrowed. Any ideas?

Thank you much,
Joshy

There are different species of pistol shrimp so that is probably what it is.
