I purchased a lovely specimen at my lfs the other day

About 2 inches long - i have never seen one this big

Is there a site where i can identify him/her?

thanks in advance

Can you provide an image? Under what heading was it sold? As to identification, it would be worth your while to peruse the 'Garnelen' (shrimp) and 'Großarmgarnelen' (large-arm shrimp) segments of http://www.wirbellose.de/arten.html.

That site has alot of links For commonly sold shrimp I usually refer to [link=http://azgardens.com/shrimpfactory.php]http://azgardens.com/shrimpfactory.php" style="COLOR: #C000C0[/link],
[link=http://www.fishpondinfo.com/shrimp2.htm]http://www.fishpondinfo.com/shrimp2.htm" style="COLOR: #C000C0[/link], and [link=http://www.aquatic-store.com/index.html?target=dept_307.html&lang=en-us]http://www.aquatic-store.com/index.html?target=dept_307.html&lang=en-us" style="COLOR: #C000C0[/link]. While the last 2 aren't always 100% accurate they usually give me enough info to do a google search for the rest. If I can identify at least the common name on a site with no other good info then I can do a google search to come up with the scientific name and go straight to it on the more in depth sites that would require clicking on a dozen links or so to identify my fish or invert.
