Adrian Short –
Easy to care for and very peaceful. I’ve kept them in a 30-gallon tank with corals for over six months with no issues. They’re active but don’t disturb the reef. A great addition for beginner reef keepers.
Diane Rutherford –
Arrived quickly and the shrimp looked healthy. They’ve been in my tank for three months and are still active. No aggression, and they seem to enjoy the environment. A bit shy at first but settled in well.
Oliver Hemmings –
Perfect for a small reef setup. The shrimp are colorful and don’t eat corals. I’m a beginner and found them easy to maintain. They’re a nice touch without causing stress to the tank.
