About this item
Mini Mysid Cleaner Shrimp
Mini Mysid Cleaner Shrimp (Mysid spp.) are ultra-small, self-propagating micro crustaceans that bring both functional cleanup and natural biological activity to marine aquariums. Typically measuring just a few millimeters in size, these shrimp operate continuously within rockwork, sand beds, and low-flow zones.
Unlike larger cleanup crew members, mysids excel at consuming fine organic particles, leftover food, and micro-detritus that accumulate in hard-to-reach areas. As a self-sustaining population, they can establish and multiply under stable conditions, creating a long-term, living micro-cleanup system within your aquarium.
