Blood Shrimp
Lysmata debelius
Origin: Indo-Pacific – Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Maldives
Size: Up to 6 cm
Reef Compatibility:
Diet: Omnivore – scavenges leftover food, meaty frozen foods, pellets, and flakes; will also eat detritus.
Care Level: Easy – hardy and adaptable once established.
Aggression: Peaceful – may be territorial toward other Fire Shrimp in smaller tanks; best kept singly or as a bonded pair unless in large systems.
Captive-Bred Available: ❌ No
Notes:
The Blood (Fire) Shrimp is a strikingly beautiful cleaner shrimp with deep red colouring and white spots. Known for setting up cleaning stations, it may pick parasites and dead tissue from fish, though often more active at night. Requires stable water conditions and plenty of live rock for shelter.
Why We Like It:
One of the most eye-catching ornamental shrimp available, the Blood/Fire Shrimp combines utility as a cleaner with bold colouration, making it a standout in any reef display.
