Lysmata wurdemanni Breeding France S 2-3 cm RAH

Lysmata wurdemanni – Aiptasia-Eating Shrimp from French Breeding RecifAtHome

Lysmata wurdemanni is a discreet, useful, and peaceful reef shrimp, particularly sought after for its natural ability to eat Aiptasia anemones, which can often be invasive in marine aquariums. Its body is translucent red, slightly striped, allowing it to blend into the decor while remaining aesthetically pleasing.

A Valuable Ally Against Aiptasia

When kept in a group (at least 3 individuals), Lysmata wurdemanni becomes an excellent tool for biological control. It targets Aiptasia, helping to naturally limit their proliferation in a reef tank without resorting to chemical products.

Maintenance Conditions

Impeccable water quality is essential. These shrimps are sensitive to sudden changes, particularly in salinity.

Behavior and Compatibility

Very sociable, Lysmata wurdemanni easily group together and can be kept together without the risk of aggression. They are peaceful and vulnerable, so cohabitation with aggressive tropical fish or crustacean hunters should be avoided.

Feeding

• Marine pellets for invertebrates
