These shrimp are excellent scavengers and will
eat virtually everything offered. They enjoy being hand fed and
love to give your arm a good cleaning!
The Pacific Cleaner Shrimp are the most sought
after of a large family of cleaner shrimps (Hippolytidae
family). While their brilliant red and white markings make them
attractive additions to any aquarium, their real value is in
removing parasites from their tankmates in much the same fashion
as do cleaner wrasses. Experienced reefkeepers regularly use
these fascinating invertebrates as their first line of defense
against diseases, such as Ich.
