Banded Coral Shrimp
Scientific Name: Stenopus hispidus
Small Fish Safe: Yes (with caution – may harass injured fish)
Invert Safe: With caution – territorial toward other shrimp
Coral Safe: Yes
Adult Size: Up to 6 cm body length (longer with antennae)
Diet: Carnivore – feeds on frozen meaty foods and detritus
Why We Like It:
With its iconic red and white banding and long sweeping antennae, the Banded Coral Shrimp is a true classic in marine tanks. It often sets up cleaning stations and may pick parasites from fish. Best kept singly or as a mated pair, and ideally not mixed with other ornamental shrimp species to avoid territorial disputes. Great visual impact with a useful role in reef setups.
