Light bulb nem

[Joeylm]

I found this online, so it may be that they host small nem shrimps as well and not just a snapping shrimp:

However, they do live in association with some species of cleaner shrimps, including the Spotted Cleaner Shrimp Periclimenes yucatanicus and Pederson Cleaner Shrimp Ancylomenes pedersoni, as well as the opossum shrimp species Heteromysis actiniae. They stay close to the Curlique Anemone or among its tentacles where they are protected from other predators, and will nibble on any external parasites residing on the anemone.

It also says they are not prone to moving around so you could try and find a good spot for it.

Yeah I was looking up the snapping shrimp. I don't think I've ever seen one of those around. I see cleaner shrimp everywhere though at lf stores. Thanks for the info. Maybe I'll just move the rock he's on to a more suitable location!

It would also make a very cool pico display with a bunch of host shrimp living on it

This is the only place I know of that sells the snapping shrimp. They are not in stock atm. $10 for a single or $25 for a mated pair.

Red Snapping Shrimp - Mated Pair

This is a mated pair of red snapping shrimp, Alpheus armatus, hand collected from the Florida Keys. These are small, colorful shrimp most often found living with corkscrew anemones, Bartholomea annulata. The most distinctive thing about these shrimp is their snap, which sounds like the tank is...

If you remove it, I would love to take it off your hands! I am looking for an aiptasia, but nobody seems to be taking me seriously, haha
