Description

🔍 Description:
The Gold Coral Banded Shrimp is a vibrant and rare color morph of the classic Stenopus genus, known for its long white antennae, gold-tinted body, and dramatic banded pincers. While often shy during the day, it will emerge at night or when hungry to scavenge meaty leftovers and organic waste.

These shrimp are visually stunning and make for a beautiful display invert, but they can be territorial, especially toward other shrimp or slow-moving inverts that enter their space.

Must Have

✅ Why They're a Must-Have:

Unique Display Shrimp: Rare golden coloration sets them apart from the traditional red-and-white variety.

Scavenger Role: Helps clean up decaying matter, uneaten food, and fish molts.

Compatible with Corals: Will not harm corals, clams, or sessile invertebrates.

Pairs Well (Sometimes): Can form monogamous pairs, but don’t mix multiples unless the tank is large.

Notes for Success

⚠️ Notes for Success:

One Per Tank Rule: Best kept singly or in mated pairs — will fight with other Coral Banded Shrimp.

Shrimp Conflict Warning: May attack smaller or more docile shrimp (Peppermint, Sexy, etc.) if housed together.

Hides in Caves: Provide rockwork or ledges where it can feel secure during the day.

Not a True Cleaner: Unlike Skunk Cleaner Shrimp, it does not clean fish.
