الوصف

Keep in mind

Sensitive during transportation
This species is very sensitive during transportation and acclimatizing into the aquarium.
Can irritate corals
These shrimps will sometimes irritate corals by taking food out of their mouths, but this is not generally a problem.
Bred in captivity
This species can be bred in captivity, one can therefore consider asking your local fish store for a captive bred specimen.
Removes parasitic life

This species is able to remove parasites from fish.
It does not have a great impact on a large outbreak of marine ich (Cryptocaryon), for example, but it contributes towards keeping fish parasite free.

Constant cleaning can stress the fish in the aquarium, so one should not add this fish which removes parasites, if the fish are already weakened through other causes.

Not all specimens actively clean fish.
