I added a few fire shrimp to my 30-gallon reef tank and they’ve been active and calm. They don’t bother corals and seem to enjoy the environment. Easy to care for and a nice addition to the tank.

The shrimp arrived healthy and were active right after setting up. They’re peaceful and don’t cause any issues with my live rock or corals. Good for a beginner reef setup.

I’ve had fire shrimp for about two months now. They’re small but lively and stay in the crevices without causing any stress to other inhabitants. Very satisfied with the purchase.
