Assorted Lime Camel Shrimp

Rhynchocinetes Shrimp are generally found in tropical and subtropical marine environments, particularly on coral reefs. They inhabit shallow waters, often hiding among coral branches, rocks, or crevices. Camel Shrimp are omnivorous and feed on a variety of small organisms, including plankton, detritus, and organic matter in the water column. It's essential to avoid using copper-based treatments in a tank with invertebrates, as it can harm them. Always follow the recommended guidelines for medication use in marine aquariums. Magnesium and Iodine are important components for shrimp as they need these for molting.

Rhynchocinetes uritai Shrimp are commonly known as Camel, Urita's Boxer or Urita's Dancing Shrimp. They are somewhat commonly collected in the aquarium trade.
