Where did you get him from!
Hi @Monty Alexander , I got him / her from my supplier here in the UK, Laura Carlin at EcoMarines, a great sustainable source for marine animals. I think retail about £20. They really need to have a specific environment though. I have a love for nano and pico tanks so have lots of places to keep crustaceans. They are carnivores so larvae from my breeding projects are ideal. Would love to try a breeding project for these but I think I am running out of space, ha ha.:)

I don’t know what type shrimp this guy is but he was super cool and we had to have him. Always out and swimming around.
