The Sexy Anemone Shrimp is a fascinating shrimp that exhibits an unusual trait of swaying its abdomen back and forth, hence the name Sexy shrimp. This species is usually found among the tentacles of an anemone, but in the reef aquarium it will quickly find a nice coral to perch on.
Sexy shrimp do best in groups of 3 or more individuals in a smaller reef aquarium. These tiny shrimp will grow rapidly, molting about every 3-4 weeks. Although very hardy, these shrimp should be acclimated slowly to avoid any salinity and/or pH shock. They are intolerant of high nitrates or copper levels, and iodine levels in the water must be correct to promote proper molting.
Feed the Sexy Anemone Shrimp most flaked and frozen foods, plankton, and meaty items.

I thought I read some where that they only eat star fish. But I could be very wrong, just thought I should bring up the point.

the shrimp that only eat starfish are the harlaquin shrimp.
These shrimp eat almost anything, and i handfeed them frozen brine.

Well, I got two of them last evening. and since i've added them to the tank, I havn't seen them

try to find em and if u do try and introduce them into an anemone or a coral similar to an anemone. they r almost imposible to find in a big tank with out a host cuz ther so small. u dont have to worry about that in a small tank, but in a big tank they will be harder to keep track of
