Anemone Shrimp

Anemone Shrimp

Latin Name Periclimenes sp
Common Name Anemone Shrimp
Also known as Anemone Shrimp, Clown Anemone Shrimp
Fast Facts As their name implies, in the wild these shrimps are found living in anemones but they do fine in reefs without anemones, taking up shelter in corals or rock. Anemone Shrimps are very small, typically around 1/4"-1/2". They do well in groups of three or more, but also fare well singly. Like all shrimps, they require careful acclimation. Sensitive to changes in specific gravity and pH, always acclimate slowly. They are carnivorous; offer meaty foods such as brine or mysis shrimp, etc.
