What's wrong with that? When I first got mine I could barely see them they were so small.. now mine are pretty big as well... spawn babies every so often that get gobbled up but I don't think the life span on them is as long as a coral banded or cleaner.... my CBS is about 3+ years old and I've lost about half my peppermint shrimp in under 1 1/2 years (unless something ate them which I really doubt).

my peps (2of them) one is close to 3 inches long and the other is 2 and a half inches long. and both of them feel the need to attack my hand which feels kinda cool and they love to eat food that i feed to the corals.. there a pain but they do a great job on the aiptasia.

one of the folks said your shrimp is caring eggs? where do ya see them? just curious is all.
IDK...I can't really see them in the pic...I just know that they carry eggs a lot...and usually under their belly
