The Fire shrimp is a great shrimp to have in your tank as it will scavenge and clean the other fish in your tank, it will setup a cleaning station and wait for fish to come visit it. When the fish arrives the shrimp will start to remove dead tissue and parasites from the fish, keeping the fish clean and healthy. This species needs a good amount of live rock and compatible and peaceful aquarium mates. This shrimp is a great addition to any existing reef aquarium. Like many creatures dwelling in saltwater aquariums this animal is very sensitive to changes in the water levels and copper based medications. This shrimp can be kept in male/female pairs but normally does not tolerate other members of its species.
