Easy to care for and very peaceful in my 24-gallon tank. I noticed it grazing on algae and didn’t see any aggression toward other inhabitants. A great addition for beginner reef keepers.
Anthony Hill –
The shrimp arrived healthy and has been active since setup. It’s small but active, and I appreciate that it doesn’t disturb the coral. Just keep an eye on it during the first few weeks.
Samantha Coleman –
Perfect for a beginner reef tank. It’s calm, doesn’t eat corals, and seems to thrive in the 24-gallon setup. I’ve kept it for over three months with no issues.
