Why We Like It:

A striking and rare shrimp, Stenopus cyanoscelis features electric blue legs and a bold red-and-white body. It combines the appeal of the classic coral banded shrimp with a unique colour twist. Suitable for reef tanks with stable rockwork and minimal shrimp competition, it’s best kept singly or as a bonded pair. Adds high-end visual flair and personality to display tanks.
