CB shrimps are guaranteed fertile and more tolerant of deterioration in water quality due to the environment they are raised in. Sometimes WC shrimps come in with some "growth" at the side of the carapace which might be hard to notice at first. It's actually a parasitic isopod which will make your shrimp infertile and unable to spawn. The current stock available is around 2.5cm to 3cm, excluding the antennas.

please read carefully,

Peppermint shrimp are very interesting to watch, but adding them to a reef tank is, in my opinion not a good idea. Shrimp in the Lysmata family have a well documented history of nipping, eating, or harassing desirable reef invertebrates. When food is scarce (or maybe not) corals and clams become "temporary" favorites to nip, eat, and harass. Recently these shrimp have become popular because they eat Aiptasia. The addition of these shrimp to the reef tank for the purpose of eating Aiptasia is ill advised in my opinion. We as good aquarists cannot expect these shrimp to eat just one type of cnidarian (the Aiptasia) while leaving other cnidarians (corals like the Xeniids) alone. Nature just does not work that way. More importantly, if you have problems with Aiptasia and use this shrimp to eat these nasty anemones, you are not addressing the problem (water flow and/or excess nutrients) which are allowing for the Aiptasia bloom in the first place. Instead, you are treating the symptoms by introducing this borderline reef safe invertebrate. I would recommend this shrimp for a fish only with live rock display, as they are really good cleaners, and can be very active in a non aggressive tank. From a reefer since the mid 80’s, back when they said keeping a reef system was impossible for the average aquarist.

Just thought you reefers should know...

Hi garyjg,

I've included the link in which you got your info from for other reefers to have a look.

I do not know Craig Burda but I'm sure he's entitled to his own opinion just like many other people. Craig's opinion is applicable to most marine organisms. A lot of literature will list angelfish as non-reef safe but many SPS keepers keep them in their tanks anyway. Shrimps from the Lysmata genus will only harrass other reef inverts if they lack both natural and artificial diets, in other words being starved. Such behavior is usually rare in a reef tank due to the wide range of natural foods available. All shrimps are basically scavengers and if they are seen to be harrassing other inhabitants, it usually implies that the inhabitant is about to pass on anyway. I believe that all aquarists should take all advice with a pinch of salt.

Dear all,

The species I am currently supplying is Lysmata boggessi. This is confirmed by the paper below.

Rhyne AL, Lin J (2006) A western Atlantic peppermint shrimp complex: redescription of Lysmata wurdemanni (Gibbes), description of four new species, and remarks on L. rathbunae Chace (Crustacea: Decapoda: Hippolytidae). Bull Mar Sci 79:165–204

L. boggessi has been confirmed to take Aiptasia. Better choice compared to L. wurdemanni as L. wurdemanni is said to be a temperate-subtropical species.
