The banded coral shrimp (Stenopus hispidus) is a popular saltwater aquarium invertebrate known for its striking red and white bands and long white antennae. It is a “cleaner shrimp” that removes parasites and dead tissue from fish, but it can also be aggressive towards other shrimp and should be housed singly or as a mated pair. These shrimp are nocturnal, hardy if acclimated slowly, and require stable water parameters, including iodine for molting. #saltwateraquarium #reeftank #aquariumhobby #a
