The Harlequin Shrimp L is a beautiful addition to my reef tank. It’s active and curious, and the color contrast is impressive. I’ve kept it for three months and it’s thriving in stable conditions. Only recommend for experienced saltwater keepers.

Great visual appeal and active behavior. The shrimp seems to eat well and doesn’t cause any issues in my tank. I did need to monitor water parameters closely at first, but it’s settled now.

It looks nice and is active, but I noticed it’s not very social and tends to hide when new fish are added. Works well in a calm, stable environment.
