Bumble Bee Shrimp

Carnivore: eats the tube feet of sea urchins and starfish in the wild; accepts small meaty foods such as mysis.

Temperature 75–80°F, salinity 1.024–1.026 SG, pH 8.1–8.4, alkalinity 8–12 dKH, nitrate under 20 ppm. Keep copper and most fish medications out of the tank; they are toxic to invertebrates. Min tank: 10 gal. Molts as it grows; keep iodine stable. Drip acclimate over 45–60 minutes; inverts are sensitive to fast salinity changes.

Reef safe. May pick at urchins and starfish.
