🦐 Spotted Cleaner Shrimp (Periclimenes yucatanicus)

Reef Safe • Symbiotic Cleaner • Striking Pattern

 

📋 The Spotted Cleaner Shrimp is a striking Caribbean reef species recognized by its semi-transparent body, white spots with vivid red bands, and its role as a symbiotic cleaner shrimp. Often found living among sea anemones and corals, this shrimp is known for setting up cleaning stations where fish approach to have parasites removed.

In the aquarium, they are peaceful and reef-safe, often interacting with fish and living harmoniously with corals. While hardy, they require stable reef water parameters and gentle tank mates.

Their vibrant coloration, fascinating cleaning behavior, and reef-safe status make the Spotted Cleaner Shrimp a highly desirable invertebrate for marine aquariums.
