Dancing Camel Shrimp (Rynchocinetes Durbanensis)

The Camel Shrimp has an interesting pattern of red and white stripes along the body. They sway and tap when they move. They have notably large and moveable rostrum (nose) that is usually pointed upwards. It prefers to assemble with other Camel shrimp. Like all other inverts it will need hiding places during molting. They will tolerate other shrimp. This shrimp is not considered reef safe as they may nip at soft coral when gathering food. Like all other invertebrates, these shrimps are sensitive to copper based medications.

This shrimp is guaranteed for live arrival only.
