About this item
Harlequin Shrimp
Harlequin Shrimp (Hymenocera picta) is one of the most visually striking invertebrates in the marine aquarium hobby, known for its vibrant white body covered in blue, purple, and pink markings. Its bold coloration and unique shape make it a true centerpiece species.
This species is highly specialized, feeding exclusively on starfish. Harlequin Shrimp display fascinating hunting behavior, carefully flipping and consuming starfish over time. Their slow, deliberate movement and intricate patterns create a mesmerizing display in reef aquariums. Many hobbyists will often keep Chocolate Chip Starfish, to help keep a fresh supply of food for harlequinn shrimp.
