harlequin shrimp?

[leon]

Is this a harlequin shrimp?, im 99% sure it is!!!!!, the lfs said it was an anenome shrimp. If it is am i right in thinking they only eat starfish!! , should i take them back or, put in the sump? - if they can be fed on frozen or other food? gonna put them in the sump for now till i get info.

Cheers,
Leon

Sorry, cant see the photo.

If it is a harliquin then i can id it for you. they are easily recognisable

yep, its a harliquin all right. I'd take it back as they will not eat frozen food. I know some people who keep them and just feed them sand sifting starfish.

I'll take them back, although its life, i dont like the idea of starfish suffering for such a long time, if it was a quick thing then maybe. Cheers for that!.
I knew i was right!! , the main bloke is on his hols, so his mum, dad & sis are looking after the shop although she did get the dancing shrimp right, and didnt say it was a pepermint!!

I nice looking shrimp is the Sexy Shrimp. It lives in aneomnes (or near them) and its quite small and harmless. It loves to wag its tail around in the air which makes it look like some kind of dance.

A friendo f mine has 2 in their tank and they love to watcvh them, very unusual to watch with lots of character.

yep, i like them, saw some in the lfs before i set mine up, but since its up and running i havent seen them at all anywhere . Took the harlequins back today and swapped them for a banana wrass and a curlique anenome. They were very nice though

hyrookin, apparently they barev also known as the squat shrimp, or the abonian shrimp (Thor amboinensis)

Harlequin shrimp are very interesting and colourful. If I could afford to feed them, I'd get them.

Also, CatfishAttack, how did you come across this thread? It is over two years old

I wondered why ste2k3 had come back In truth, I have never seen a single post by him... the mod I never knew...

on the picture it had pink spots which means it is female and blue spots means it is male.
they are apprantly like trying to look after a moorish idol. so basically unless you can feed it it will not last long
