The Peacock Mantis Shrimp is a captivating and unique marine creature. These shrimps boast a predominantly green body adorned with vibrant green and blue highlights.
The Peacock Mantis Shrimp can grow up to 7 inches and should be housed in aquariums of at least 29 gallons. Known for their aggressive nature, they are best kept alone, as they may harm other invertebrates and fish. This makes them unsuitable for reef tanks.
When kept solo, the Peacock Mantis Shrimp offers an intriguing spectacle for observation and feeding. They require tanks with ample substrate and live rock to construct burrows and caves. These shrimps are relatively easy to care for, making them a suitable choice for novice aquarists.
As carnivores, the Peacock Mantis Shrimp thrives on a diet of meaty foods. Feeding them live shrimp, fish, and prepared foods like mysis shrimp, along with small portions of fresh seafood such as clams, crab, shrimp, and scallops, ensures their well-being.
