Orange Leander Shrimp

Leander Shrimp are generally found in marine environments, particularly in coral reefs, rocky substrates, and areas with rich biodiversity. They are often seen around crevices, where they can seek shelter and protection. Leander shrimp are omnivorous and primarily feed on a variety of small prey, including plankton, algae, and detritus. They use their specialized pincers to capture and consume food particles. 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.

Leander plumosus Shrimp are also sometimes known as Orange Leander or Feather Legged Shrimp. They are not commonly seen in the aquarium trade but are more often seen in their natural habitats. Orange Leander Shrimp typically have a translucent or semi-translucent body with various shades of white, beige, or pale colors. They may have small red or brown spots and patterns on their body. They can grow to slightly more than 1".
