Pedersons Commensal Shrimp Periclimenes pedersoni
To 2 cm (0.8 in.) long Caribbean, Tropical Western Atlantic
Lighting Requires intense lighting for its host sea anemone. Compatibility Reef safe. Lives individually, in pairs, or in larger groups associated with sea anemones. Needs a healthy host sea anemone (for example, Condylactis gigantea) to survive in captivity.
A lovely little commensal shrimp that is easy to keep in a quiet dedicated aquarium, but which will often disappear in a reef community tank. Must have slow, careful acclimation to new water conditions. Other Periclimenes species need similar care and consideration.
Crustacea; Decapoda; Stenopodidae
