Very popular for use in reef aquariums to help control Aptasia anemones.These are also known as Caribbean Cleaner Shrimp. They reproduce readily in the aquarium although the babies are very difficult to rear. This makes these shrimp ideal for keeping in display tanks as a consistant food source for smaller fish and invertebrates. These shrimp are purchased from our local wholesaler.

These little guys are very good detritous feeders. They will hide in crevices in rocks or bury slightly beneath the sand by day, and venture out by night to forage.

We've offered these great little stars in the past and now they're back. These stars are collected from under the sand. They just leave the ends of their long legs exposed during the day. At night they come out to forage the surface of the sand bed as well as finding morsels just below the surface. They are great for reef tanks or refugiums. Another FloridaPets exclusive!

A great little native hermit crab. These hermits will stay small, smaller than Blue Leg Hermits. Due to their size, they are deemed reef safe. They are an omnivore, but it's natural habitat is grass beds. These hermits don't know what coral is. They feed on algae and excess food in the substrate. 

Cleaner shrimp are so called as they exhibit a cleaning symbiosis with client fish where the shrimp clean parasites from the fish. They are often included in saltwater aquaria partly due to this relationship and their brightly colored appearance. Periclimenes magnificusii, provides a manicure for a diver. Cleaner shrimp exhibit cleaning symbiosis: a relationship in which individuals from different species benefit from cleaning. The fish benefit by having parasites removed from them, and the shrimp gain the nutritional value of the parasites. In many coral reefs, cleaner shrimp congregate at cleaning stations. In this behaviour cleaner shrimps are similar to cleaner fish, and sometimes may join with cleaner wrasse and other cleaner fish attending to client fish.
