About This Species
Highly valued for their appetite for the pest anemone Aiptasia, Peppermint Shrimp are a functional and attractive member of a reef tank's clean-up crew. They have a mostly transparent body covered in red stripes. While generally reef-safe, they may occasionally nip at soft corals or steal food if not well-fed.
