Perfect reef citizens, but hide more than S. hispidus.
A kinder gentler coral banded shrimp.
Also, the type with the blue thorax stays very small. After two years my pair are only an inch long.

Free 75 gal. reef ready tank, Huntington.

75 gal tank was used as a temporary sump. I have no room for it where I am moving. A little dirty, a few scratches, but no leaks.

If anyone wants it, I'll let you know where to come and get it.
