Henderson's Hinge Beak Shrimp
(Cinetorhynchus hendersoni)
Cinetorhynchus Shrimp are typically found in association with various types of marine habitats, such as coral reefs and rocky substrates. They often reside in burrows or crevices within the substrate. They are typically scavengers, feeding on detritus and organic matter found in their habitat. 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.
Cinetorhynchus hendersoni Shrimp are also known as Henderson's Hinge Beak Shrimp or Hederson's Cleaner Shrimp. They are sometimes seen in the aquarium trade. Additionally, captive breeding efforts are sometimes used to meet demand. They typically have a translucent body with longitudinal stripes or markings. Their coloration can vary from white to light brown, and they often have prominent white or light-colored antennae and legs. Their appearance is adapted for camouflage on coral reefs. Henderson's Hinge Beak Shrimp can grow up to 2".
