Welcome back, Shrimpie!

Welcome back Shrimpie! He had been waiting in our 10 gallon tank downstairs until the time was right. :)

We have had Shrimpie for about a year and a half, and he has grown a lot since then. He is a Pacific Skunk Cleaner Shrimp (Lysmata amboinensis) that to date has not done much cleaning, except for my finger nails, but he is very friendly and a lot fun to watch.


(There is a very similar Caribbean species (Lysmata grabhami) that is identical except for the pattern on the tail.)
