Hi, and here again with another document about shrimp all because I was scrolling through R2R forums as usual and I heard about Bongo shrimp and fell in love with how beautiful they are, so I started doing some research on other unique species of shrimp and in the end decided to make a document. Direct link to the document
Make sure to take a look at the bottom to see at the different categories of shrimp and use the arrows to see the categories that don't fit on the bottom. As always, I always get some things wrong as I can only be so correct so, please let me know if anything is wrong or if you have any feedback!

I think that's a good idea. I would include a brief blurb on things to consider with each type of shrimp. I haven't had any problems with aggression with my pistol shrimp, but it hoards coral frags if it can get them loose, and I am getting rid of it for that reason. I wish I had known they do that when I bought him. Including things like that on your list would be a good idea. Or like what shrimp harass what corals/anemones, etc.

provide a picture of the shrimp you IDing in your document. Also what is a reef shrimp?
There is a photo column to the very right will photos of everything ID'd in the documents. "Reef shrimp" are basically small shrimp that would live in the reef more among coral that isn't a cleaner shrimp. If anyone has a better name please let me know

Bumblebee shrimp are also obligate starfish eaters like harlequin shrimp. They occasionally feed on prepared foods, but that's their preferenc

I love my bumblebee shrimp. He eats most meaty food. I feel like I pull out more astrena stars than it eats.

Hi @1epauletteshark , I love decapods, although technically not a "shrimp" (the taxonomy of shrimp can be complex) your inclusion of the Reef Lobster and the Reef 2 Reef FB page using my photo. I have included a few of my photos of my personal collection of decapods here, please feel free to use them.
