Emperor Shrimp

Sweet looking shrimp !

Yes.. it sure is. More details on that?

thx guys! I haven't found much about this little guy. They don't move much and just like to host anything they can find. When I first introduced it, he was nestled in my gsp's and now he's on my toadstool that you see in the pic. I think they are alot like sexy anemone shrimp. Maybe someone out there knows more about these.

Here's a site with info on the cool critter

yea, I saw that article recently too. thx bank_vault! I second this that's listed in the article:

-- Not content merely to relax and enjoy the ride, they are constantly on the move, normally perched near the substrate looking for food to pass by; I guess this is the marine version of “meals on wheels” --

FYI: he moves alot as he's now hosting my green hairy mushroom. although they don't get bothered when the shrimp is just chillin' on top, so that's a good thing

I totally lucked out and scored one of these guys at the LFS today

My guy is hanging in some red macro for the time being, he blends in pretty well

sweet!! how much did you get him for?

Sweet shrimp!!!!

I got mine for... think it was $12

haven't seen the bugger today... hope the pistol shrimp didn't get him

thx nc35!

bank_vault: hope it appears again soon

Haven't seen it in 4 days... it is either hiding really well or the pistol got a meal that im POed pretty well about.

Awesome pic! Bank_Vault hope your guy shows up!
