DaJMasta Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Saron shrimp They're not reef safe, but they get pretty big and look pretty neat. Link to comment
19jeffro83 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Doesn't look like the saron I had. This is mine, is there different species? Link to comment
Captain Hook Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Those shrimp look the same, Im sure its the same species. Not all species look 100% alike theres always variations... Link to comment
lakshwadeep Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 There are a few species of Saron, and they can have many patterns: http://www.google.com/search?q=saron+shrim...355&bih=799 Link to comment
19jeffro83 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Agreed thanks for The links lak, There is a difference in the claws and some other aspects of this specimen which is what threw me off. Including the "hairs" and filaments off the abdomin and torso I have seen on most saron. Including the ability to change multiple colors. Link to comment
