Caribbean Peppermint Shrimp (Lysmata wurdemanni complex)
The Caribbean Peppermint Shrimp is a small, strikingly patterned cleaner shrimp known for its red and white stripes. Native to Caribbean reefs and seagrass beds, it spends its time picking at leftover food and helping control small pest populations like Aiptasia. Hardy and peaceful, Peppermint Shrimp do best in well-established tanks with plenty of rockwork and hiding spots. Their colorful appearance and utility as natural cleaners make them a popular choice for reef and fish-only aquariums.
