Pure White • Semi-Aggressive • Hardy Scavenger
📋 The Snow White Crayfish is a selectively bred morph of Procambarus clarkii, admired for its striking pure white coloration. Often called the White Lobster, it makes a bold centerpiece in freshwater aquariums.
Like other crayfish, Snow Whites are territorial and semi-aggressive, so they are best housed alone, as a pair, or with fast-moving tank mates. They are hardy scavengers that help clean up leftover food while adding an exotic touch to aquascapes.
