Easy to set up and very active in the tank. They don’t bother other fish and clean the substrate well. Perfect for a beginner reef tank. Very happy with the purchase.

They arrived healthy and have been thriving in my 30-gallon tank. I didn’t expect them to be so calm and they don’t eat much. A good addition to a peaceful reef setup.

The shrimp are active and help keep the sand clean. They don’t stress other tank mates and adapt quickly. Great value for the price and easy to care for.
