Description

Shrimp Coral Banded “Boxer”

The Shrimp Coral Banded Boxer (Stenopus hispidus) is a vibrant saltwater shrimp with bold red and white banding. Native to tropical reefs worldwide, it is a peaceful invertebrate that thrives in well-maintained reef aquariums.

This shrimp is known for its role as a cleaner, removing debris and parasites from tank mates. It prefers tanks with plenty of hiding places like live rock and coral formations. Feed it small meaty foods, such as brine shrimp or chopped seafood, to keep it healthy and active.
