Easy to care for and very active in the tank. It doesn’t bother the corals and stays calm. Perfect for a small reef setup. Has been in my 30-gallon tank for three months and still healthy.

Arrived quickly and looks exactly as described. It’s peaceful and helps clean algae. I didn’t expect it to be so active, but it’s a good addition to my reef tank.

Great choice for a beginner. The shrimp is hardy and doesn’t stress the tank environment. I’ve seen it forage around the rockwork and eat small bits of detritus.
