The Sexy Shrimp derives its memorable name from its unmistakable, high-spirited behavior of constantly waving and bobbing its abdomen up and down while moving across the reef. Captivatingly small, these tiny shrimp showcase an orange-brown body covered in large, glowing white patches outlined in deep blue. Due to their minute size, they are perfect candidates for nano and pico reef tanks, where they love to hang out in small groups around the bases of corals or hosted safely inside large-polyp stony corals and anemones.
