About this item

Coral Banded Shrimp

Coral Banded Shrimp (Stenopus hispidus) is a bold and eye-catching crustacean known for its distinct red-and-white banded claws, spiny body, and long flowing antennae. Its striking appearance and interactive behavior make it a favorite centerpiece invert for marine aquariums.

This species is both functional and entertaining, often seen perched on rockwork or actively exploring the tank. It is known to hunt bristle worms and scavenge leftover food, helping maintain a cleaner aquarium. Coral Banded Shrimp can also form mated pairs, but may show aggression toward other shrimp species or similar-looking tankmates.
