BLUE Coral Banded Shrimp

[mjsdas]

Does anyone else have one of these? 20 days since i got him i have finally had a photo op tonight. He usually hides between the rocks in the day and comes out at night. the lfs said he is fairly rare, and i've yet to see any pics on this forum of one. What do you think?

with his best friend and only tankmate, a yellow striped maroon clownfish

nice i have one with a blue stomach but nothing else :thinking:

how big is it? when mine was little, it was transparent and you could see his "entrails" which gave him a blue hue.

Usually when they have a blue stomack means there full of eggs

 

[mjsdas]

his stomach is blue, as is about 75 percent of his body. The stomach is a deep blue while his body is more of a transparent blue. not counting his arms he is about 3/4ths an inch long

I had one. Yes they are very rare. Mine was a baby when i got it. It got sick oneday and died. It was my favorite shrimp. They are way cooler looking than the golden coral banded shrimps and the regular ones. Yes the regular coral banded's have like a touqouise blue on their stomach. But the Blue coral banded shrimp have a blue/purple shell.
