Diagnosis and study methods
2014 diagnosis distinguishes specimens from C. cantonensis using morphology of first pereiopod and coloration in wild animals plus mtDNA evidence.
Taxonomic history and relationships
Named in honor of Carsten and Frank Logemann for bee-shrimp hobby contributions and research support.
Aquarium trade and false look-alikes
Bee-associated wild taxon, but cannot automatically genotype every commercial Crystal Red, Taiwan Bee, or King Kong colony.

Not a controlled ornamental-breeding study
Molecular color gene evidence
No peer-reviewed commercial color locus assigned to this name by cited taxonomic sources
Conservation / handling caveat
Research identification of a wild species is not a commercial availability announcement. Avoid collecting, purchasing undocumented wild specimens or inferring permissive collecting regulations.
