Aiptasia Eating Peppermint Shrimp

Name: Aiptasia-Eating Peppermint Shrimp
Scientific Name: Lysmata wurdemanni (true peppermint shrimp from the western Atlantic)
Maximum Size: About 2 inches
Favorite Things: Picking at rock crevices, scavenging leftover food, and eating Aiptasia anemones (a common reef pest). Best results when kept a bit hungry, as they may ignore Aiptasia if overfed.
Best Buddies: Reef-safe with most community fish and inverts. Generally peaceful, though they may occasionally steal food from corals.
