Rock Shrimp
(Sicyonia brevirostris)
Sicyonia shrimp are typically found in marine environments, primarily in shallow coastal waters, on sandy or muddy substrates, and near rocky or coral reefs. They can be encountered in both temperate and tropical regions. Sicyonia Shrimp are primarily carnivorous and feed on various marine organisms found on the ocean floor. Their diet may include small fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and other bottom-dwelling creatures. 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.
Sicyonia Shrimp are also sometimes known as Rock Shrimp or Bullseye Shrimp. They are occasionally collected for the aquarium trade. Sicyonia Shrimp are typically reddish-brown in color and can display various patterns on their bodies. They can grow up to 1".
