      🔍 Description:
      The Sexy Shrimp is a small, vibrant shrimp named for its distinctive “dancing” motion — it constantly waves its tail up and down as it explores your tank. Their bodies are translucent amber to reddish-brown with white polka dots, and they’re often seen perched on corals or anemones, adding lively movement and color to nano reefs.

      These shrimp are natural scavengers, picking at detritus and leftover food in tight crevices and on coral surfaces. They're also known to form small groups, making them a fun and social addition to the display.

      Must HaveMust Have

      ✅ Why They're a Must-Have:

      Excellent Micro-Scavengers: Perfect for removing tiny food particles in rockwork and coral bases.

      Low Bioload: Ideal for nano reefs or tanks where space and nutrient load matter.

      Visually Engaging: Their dancing posture and bold markings make them a favorite display invert.

      Coral Cleaners: Often seen grooming the surface of LPS corals and zoanthids — rarely harmful.

      Notes for SuccessNotes for Success

      ⚠️ Notes for Success:

      Watch Coral Interaction: May bother or pick at very small polyps or open wounds on corals if underfed.

      Small and Delicate: Not safe with aggressive fish like wrasses or large clownfish.

      Best in Groups: Keep 3+ for natural social behavior (but only in peaceful tanks).

      Secure Cover: Can be vulnerable to being sucked into overflows or powerheads due to tiny size.
