The Sexy Shrimp is a very interesting and colorful small shrimp. Sexy Shrimp have a mostly deep red body with interesting white markings. Sexy Shrimp get their names from the way they hold their rear half of their body in the air.

Sexy Shrimp are small shrimp and only reach a maximum adult size of around 1 inch when fully grown. Sexy Shrimp are peaceful shrimp and will not bother other fish, coral or inverts in your tank. This makes the Sexy Shrimp a great shrimp to add to a reef tank. Sexy Shrimp should not be kept with larger fish that eat inverts, since they will more than likely be eaten.

Sexy Shrimp will spend most of their day going through the tank looking for small pieces of leftover food to eat. This makes them a great addition to your clean up crew. Sexy Shrimp will benefit greatly from having a good level of iodine in the tank to help them molt correctly.

Sexy Shrimp are carnivores and require a diet that is rich in meaty foods. They will get most of their nutritional needs through scavenging, but you can supplement their diet with meaty foods like mysis and brine shrimp, high quality flake and pellet foods as well as high quality meaty frozen foods.
