SHRIMP – SEXY ANEMONE Thor amboinensis

$24.99

The Sexy Anemone Shrimp, or simply known as the Sexy Shrimp, originates from waters of the Indo-Pacific. Sporting a reddish color with brilliant white spots, Sexy shrimp are named after their behavior. When they move, their abdomen sways around with flare. This charm makes them a fun addition to a marine aquarium. In the wild, these shrimp take up residence among tentacles of anemones. In home aquaria this symbiotic relationship may be mimicked, but typically they’re found perched on the edge of a coral frag or live rock. What Sexy shrimp lack in size (1″ full grown), they make up with their vast, fearless personalities as they strut around the aquarium. Sexy shrimp will thrive best when kept in small groups of 3 or more individuals.
