Bamboo Shrimp - Atyopsis moluccensis
Also commonly known as the Wood Shrimp. This beautiful shrimp is a filter feeder and does a great job feeding off the surfaces of the tank and eating matter off plants. They particularly love hanging around the foam cover of the filters, catching and eating the debris that gets caught around that area. Size is about 2-2.5 inches. Bamboo Shrimp are “detritivores” which means they collect particles in the water for food. With brush like hands they sift through an aquarium collecting food with a fun dance like movement. Very peaceful large invert that gets a rust red color with a cream stripe once comfortable. Great community addition!
