Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
|
The Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp acts like the medic of any saltwater aquarium. In fact, this active cleaner will set up shop on live rock or coral outcroppings and wait for fish to come and be cleaned of ectoparasites or dead tissue. Many fish value its services so highly that they even allow the Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp to clean inside of their mouths without...

Thoughts on Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
| Comments |
Very attractive shrimp in a reef aquarium, or and marine best aquarium. They are non agressive and great utility for the tank. Due to they will pick off dead skin and eat parasites of a fish. I purchase mine to lower the stress of a Coral Beauty anger that had ich.

Cleaner shrimp are not shy at all. If you were to place your hand into the tank the will pick at it in the effort of cleaning. They will eat formula 2 pellets possibly formula 1 also. They eat mysis shrimp and and meaty frozen foods. Great scavenger for the tank.

Can be very persistent to try to clean a fish near it, which isn't a bad thing at all. In my tank the fish in due time get use to its presence and allow the cleaning.

Very active!
| Comments |
I really like these guys. They are always out and moving around the tank. Eating food and picking at the rock or trying to clean the fish. Some more expensive shrimp just hide all day long and only come out at night, but these shrimp are out all day long and all night long. They also jump right on my hand if I am putting food in the tank and its pretty neat for them to eat out of your hand like that.

Very active, always cleaning the rock or substrate. They will also clean your fish once the fish get comfortable and let them.
|
| Didn't like |
Sometimes they can be to friendly, when you are trying to work on the tank they can get in the way sometimes, but its no big deal.

One of if not the best shrimp!
| Comments |
These are very interesting additions to a tank. They add color movement and are very useful in a reef aquarium. I had one that would frequently clean my blue tang and it was very interesting to watch as the tang would take time out for swimming to be cleaned by the shrimp. They also scavenge for food that may fall in the rock work or sand.

Easy and fun addition to a reef aquarium
| Comments |
These shrimp tend to have a big personality. In our 29g, we've had as many as 2 with a Banded Coral Shrimp. The Banded Coral trys to be territorial, but these Cleaner Shrimp just dance around him. They're really funny to watch. They will scavenge food from the fish and what they can find around the tank. We found that ours were actually too well fed and generally ignored the fish when they were trying to get cleaned.

Attractive, easy, friendly, reef safe.

Are a bit delicate. Some fish might get too aggresive and kill them. Should be kept only in very docile reef tanks. Don't clean fish as often as I'd like.
