Description: The tiny Sexy Shrimp has enjoyed good popularity among marine hobbyists throughout the years. It is called the sexy shrimp due to the way it is constantly twirling its body even when stationary. They are a type of anemone shrimp that are normally found in association with anemones in the wild. Curiously named Thor Amboinensis despite their size. Very small, they are well suited to nano and even pico aquariums. Like the Fire shrimp and the Cleaner Shrimp, the Sexy shrimp are commonly found throughout the Indo-Pacific where they are collected in large numbers for the trade. They are also relatively cheap as a result, making them very accessible to all saltwater tank enthusiasts. Tank mate selection is important. Due to their small size, they are easily harrased and consumed by larger fish. Strictly no basslets, groupers or any other large carnivores. They do well with pygmy angels. Although weâ€™d avoid housing them with large angels just incase. Upon introduction and acclimation, they will seek out an anemone host. If one is not found they will make do with substitutes from a variety of corals. Mushrooms, Green star polyps, clove polyps are good candidates for a substitute host. The sexy shrimp is a social creature that does well in groups. I've personally kept them in groups of 5 with little friction. Though there may be some infighting now and again

Food and diet: Sexy shrimp are omnivores that will eat anything meaty and some greens. They will graze from one end to another end of the tank on microalgae's. But upon introducing a few pellets or a tasty morsel of some sort they head straight for it. Generally any kind of sinking pellet will do

Recommended Minimum Tank Size: 1 gallon or larger

Reef Compatibility: Excellent, does well in groups

Company Details

It all started with a small aquarium in the year 2000 when I was 9. It was nothing short of a life-changing experience for me. The Turbo Snail was busy munching up the bad Algae on the glass of the aquarium; a Yellow Tang was busy grazing on one of the corals, a Sailfin chasing away competition, Percula Clowns sneaking up from their host Anemones! The aquarium had so much of color and life in it. Nothing stood still, and each one of the living beings went about their work, quietly and gently. It soon grew to be one of my greatest inspirations, leading me to pursue my passion for marine life and create a living out of it. And a day, here in Kolkata, I am ready to share all that I love and have learnt, with more people. Creating the awareness about this hobby was the biggest challenge that I faced, coupled with the quality of the live stocks that was sold in the market. I decided to create Marine World where quality imported live stocks and other accessories would be available at the best prices. For over 10 years Marine World’s marine fishes & other live decorative supply have been invited into the homes of millions of hobbyist - aquarium & fish, and more - making us one of the leading direct marketer and importer of marine fish supplies in the country.
