The Coral Banded Shrimp is a longtime staple of the aquarium industry. These shrimp are white in color with red bands along their body and claws. They have a rough texture to their exoskeleton and long white antennae. The Coral Banded is a great addition to tanks of 50 gallons or more. They enjoy being in full view and will spend the day looking for food -- specifically their desire to eat bristle worms. They accept all foods and will not harm other shrimp unless threatened. Coral Banded Shrimp have a vigorous appetite and should be fed daily. They desire lots of rockwork to cruise around and perch on and more than one cannot be kept in the same aquarium, unless it is a mated pair. They are the hardiest of all shrimp.
