Curator's Note

The perfect Stenopus shrimp for a reef tank. Stays small, is non-aggressive and is gorgeous in person.

Description

This tough and hardy critter is frequently seen cleaning parasites off of fish but is also capable of eating them as it grows larger. It is best known for wiping out complete populations of bristle worms. It will likely attack other shrimps and crustaceans; including snails.

These animals are known to loose their claws or legs during normal shipping practices. They will usually grow back after the next molt.

Diet

Will eat meaty bits of fish or crustacean and will scavenge whatever it can find. Failure to occasionally target feed this animal will force it to hunt tankmates.
