Description
Aiptasia control is a critical part of regular reef maintenance. This specific species of aquacultured Peppermint Shrimp originates from the water of the Mediterranean and is particularly effective at consuming this pest anemone. In addition to their diet of Aiptasia, they are also beneficial scavengers that will clean up any uneaten food or waste in the home aquarium. While they are similar in appearance to our other captive bred Peppermint Shrimp species Lysmata boggessi, these shrimp tend to grow faster and exhibit distinct blue streaks along their sides. They are also completely reef safe.
Approximate Purchase Size: .75” – 1”
