Description

The Peppermint Shrimp (Lysmata Wurdemanni) is brightly colored with a creamy white body striped with several thin and distinct longitudinal red bands, and is best known for its natural ability to manage nuisance Aiptasia, or Glass Anemones. Keep in mind that some individual Peppermint Shrimp are better at managing aiptasia while others may not be interested in aiptasia at all. Though considered part of the “cleaner” grouping of shrimp, the Peppermint Shrimp is more of a scavenger. The Peppermint Shrimp picks its way around your aquarium and live rock to consume detritus, uneaten food, and decomposing organic material.
