Reef Janitor Shrimp Pack

Reef Janitor Shrimp Pack

Reef Janitor Shrimp Pack are small but relentlessly hardworking members of the marine cleanup crew — constantly foraging, grazing, and tidying up the places most other animals ignore. Nearly transparent and completely reef safe, these active little shrimp work around the clock picking off algae, consuming detritus, breaking down decaying matter, and scavenging uneaten food before it can foul your water.

In a refugium or macroalgae display, Reef Janitor Shrimp are particularly valuable — navigating through rockwork, substrate, and macroalgae branches to clean areas that snails and crabs simply cannot reach. They are also a natural and highly nutritious live food source for finicky reef fish including mandarins, seahorses, pipefish, and dragonets — making them one of the most versatile and useful animals you can add to any saltwater system.

Small, peaceful, and endlessly active, these shrimp add natural movement and biological function to any tank they inhabit — quietly improving water quality and ecosystem health just by doing what they do naturally.

• Can establish a self-sustaining breeding colony in refugiums — a free, renewable cleanup crew and live food source in one
