I am not sure exactly. I purchased the stores shrimp that was in there reef tank and it was almost a year old. the shrimp is getting huge now.

I say long. My first cleaner died because my heater broke and boil the whole tank. I have kept another one for over three months now. I think it will live long.

i saw one that was 4 years old and as big as my hand. 5 or 6 inches down the back.
it was at the end of its life. it got big enough to eat a small purple tang
