Description
The Big Eye Shrimp or Humpback Prawn is a very small transparent shrimp with thin dark horizontal lines running down the body. It has large eyes for its size and a pointed snout.
The Big Eye Shrimp is a member of the cleaning shrimp and will set up a cleaning station to clean parasites off tank-mates. Provide live rock for shelter.
Marine Shrimp are very resourceful in finding their own food but it will be necessary to supplementing their diet with small food pellets and flake food; also include minced meaty foods.
