Flora & Fauna

Red and white striped with a distinctly humped back and movable rostrum. Often sold as a decorative marine shrimp; groups create beautiful colour in aquariums. Nocturnal — more active after lights out.

Bold red-and-white shrimp that sets up cleaning stations on reefs, removing parasites from fish. Reef-safe, peaceful, and fascinating to observe.

Striking red-and-white banded shrimp with long white antennae. Acts as a cleaner shrimp on wild reefs. Keep only one pair — males fight.

Striking blood-red with white-spotted antennae — one of the most beautiful marine shrimp. Acts as a cleaner shrimp, setting up stations where fish visit to have parasites removed. Best kept in pairs.

Extraordinarily beautiful shrimp with large flat claws and white-and-pink/purple spotted pattern. Specialist predator that only eats starfish — a specific feeding commitment.

Translucent shrimp with red stripes. Famous for eating Aiptasia pest anemones. An essential pest controller for reef tanks.

Famous for its symbiosis with watchman gobies — the shrimp digs a burrow and the goby guards the entrance. Pairs perfectly with Yellow Watchman or Randall's Pistol Goby. Produces a loud snapping sound.

Beautifully mottled green and brown with long hairy appendages. Males develop an impressive brush of setae on their larger claw. Nocturnal and cryptic — hides by day but emerges at night. Can eat small invertebrates.

Tiny brown-orange shrimp with white polka-dots and a characteristic upward tail-bob dance. Commonly lives among anemones and Zoanthids in groups. One of the most endearing nano reef invertebrates.
