Peacock Mantis Shrimp

Name: Peacock Mantis Shrimp
Scientific Name: Odontodactylus scyllarus
Maximum Length: Up to 7 inches
Favorite Things: Secure caves or burrows made from live rock or PVC, moderate flow, and a meaty diet of frozen shrimp, clams, crab, or fish. Incredibly intelligent and interactive — known for recognizing their keepers. Displays brilliant green, blue, and orange iridescent coloration.
Best Buddies: Solitary species – must be housed alone. Will attack other invertebrates and fish. Best kept in its own species tank or display cube. Safe with corals (reef-safe with caution) but will rearrange rockwork.
