Description

🔍 Description:
Anemone Shrimp are small, nearly transparent shrimp with shimmering colors and vibrant markings — often purple, white, or blue. Found naturally living among the tentacles of carpet and bubble-tip anemones, they form a commensal relationship, gaining protection and scraps of food while causing no harm to the host.

Their delicate appearance and graceful movements make them a favorite for nano reefs and display tanks. However, they are best suited for tanks with host anemones and peaceful tank mates.

Must Have

✅ Why They're a Must-Have (for the right setup):

Symbiotic Charm: Lives in and around anemones, mimicking their tentacles and behavior.

Low Bioload: Great choice for nano tanks or minimal-load reef systems.

Active Scavenger: Picks detritus and food particles from substrate, rocks, and around their host.

Mesmerizing Movement: Adds elegance and unique behavior to any reef display.

Notes for Success

⚠️ Notes for Success:

Needs a Host Anemone: Best housed with Entacmaea quadricolor (Bubble Tip) or similar species.

Keep with Peaceful Tankmates: Can be eaten by larger wrasses, hawkfish, or aggressive inverts.

Sensitive to Water Quality: Requires stable, reef-safe parameters and gentle flow.

Delicate During Shipping: Very sensitive in transit — acclimate slowly and carefully.
