Was looking through some of my diving photos, this one caught my eye.
Like everyone I saw the Butterfly Fish immediately, then I wondered if I had even noticed the Scorpion Fish when I took the picture. 🤔

Peppermint Shrimp - In Stock - $4.99 each!
Scientific Name: Lysmata wurdemanni
Reef Compatibility: With Caution
Minimum Tank Size: 10 gal
Max Size: 2 1/2 inches
Approximate Purchase Size: 1 to 2 inches
Food/Feeding: Carnivore
Notes: The Peppermint Shrimp also known as the Veined Shrimp or Caribbean Cleaner Shrimp is one of the most popular shrimps in the hobby. It has a well-known reputation as an eater of the widely disgusted and quite common Aiptasia anemone.
Peppermint Shrimp are native to the waters off the Florida in the Gulf of Mexico and Florida Keys. These shrimps are small, even adults rarely grow more than 2” in length and have an off-white body with many crimson red lines that go from head to tail.
Peppermint Shrimp are scavengers and pick its way around your aquarium and live rock to consume detritus, uneaten food, and decomposing organic material. They will also happily take pieces of fresh food and flakes as well. These shrimps have a reputation for eating Aiptasia in the home aquarium, they get this reputation because they are exceptionally good at doing just that. However, once the Aiptasia is consumed it has been documented that in some cases the shrimp then will attempt to eat soft corals and polyps.
Peppermint Shrimp are nocturnal and will usually hide in rocky areas of the tank only to come out after the lights are off to scavenge for food.
It has been possible to breed Peppermint Shrimp in captivity, however they are very cannibalistic and there have been problems with this as that is why the price for a “captive bred” Peppermint Shrimp are so far off from wild caught.

Was finally able to get out to the reefs for the first time since the storm. Everything looked good, picked up a little bit of live rock and a lot more rubble.

09/26/2022

We seem to be in the path of an impending storm, our website is still open, however we will not be shipping out the rest of this week and do not know when the next available shipping day will be (we are guessing Monday October 3). As always we will contact everyone who has an order in to verify the best day for them.

Thanks,

Debbie & Tom

Has anyone ever had a Pithos Crab?
If so, what was your experience?
We got some in stock and have heard great things about them, but we haven't had the opportunity to try them out ourselves yet.
