Ask a question about this product

The Banded Coral Shrimp catches the eyes of most aquarists with their beautiful coloration and body shape. It has striking red and white bands across its body with fairly long pinchers and extra long white antennae. This peaceful member of the Stenopodidae family brings interest to any marine aquarium. However, most hobbyists praise Stenopus hispidus for its active nature as it scampers around the aquarium in search of food.

Also known as "Boxing Shrimp" because of the large pinchers on their third set of legs. These pinchers are often held erect and give the Banded Coral Shrimp the appearance of a boxer ready to fight. Though the Shrimp can be aggressive towards other Coral Banded Shrimp, most are peaceful towards fish, corals, and invertebrates within your aquarium. Because of its aggressive disposition towards other Coral Banded Shrimp, they should be housed individually or kept as a true mated pair.
