Scientists have Watch The Running Mates: Human Rights Onlinehonored a pistol shrimp with a bright pink snapping claw with the ultimate rocker name: Synalpheus pinkfloydi.
The newly discovered sea creature, from the tropical eastern Pacific near Panama, was named after the progressive rock band Pink Floyd, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal Zootaxa.

The British band isn't necessarily known for its super loud sounds and heart-shaking rhythms -- you're more likely to enjoy their tunes from the couch than the dance floor -- but the researchers clearly have a soft spot for the musical group.

All of them said they have a strong connection to Pink Floyd.
De Grave is a hard-core Pink Floyd fan, while Anker said he often plays the group's music while working. "Now the band and my work have been happily combined in the scientific literature," Anker said in a news release.
The sonic shrimp isn't the first creature to be named after Pink Floyd. The Umma gumma damselfly, for instance, was named after the band's 1969 album "Ummagumma." But the shrimp is the first crustacean with such a musical honor.

But that species, which was first described in 1909, has enough "genetic divergence" to make S. pinkfloydiits own, separate species.
