Red Fire Shrimp: The Vibrant & Helpful Cleaner
TheĀ Red Fire Shrimp (Lysmata debelius) is one of the most popular and visually striking invertebrates for a marine aquarium. This species is highly prized for its brilliant, fire-engine red body adorned with bright white spots and long, white antennae. Beyond its stunning appearance, the Fire Shrimp is a fantastic cleaner shrimp, often setting up a "cleaning station" on rockwork where it will remove parasites and dead tissue from tank mates. Despite its bold coloration, it is a very peaceful and shy species that spends much of its time in the security of rockwork. The Fire Shrimp is completely reef-safe and a beneficial addition to any community tank.
