Common Name: Amboin Shrimp, Barber Shrimp.
The lysmata amboinensis is a cleaner shrimp. It will clean your fish of parasites and other small organisms. It generally lives at night and does not hesitate to come out during feeding. Its behavior is more natural when kept in a group of at least 5 individuals.
It does not need specific food and will readily consume mussels, brine shrimp, mysis, krill... and can even eat Nori leaves.
The adult specimens you receive may, depending on the season, have parasitic crustaceans on their flanks. These are neither dangerous for the tank nor fatal for the shrimp; they generally get rid of them after a few molts without any lasting effects.
