Genus
Common name: Naxioides
Scientific name: Naxioides
Naxioides is a genus of small, colorful reef-associated crustaceans known as Sexy Shrimp due to their distinctive tail-flicking behavior. They are popular in the reef aquarium hobby for their hardiness and compatibility with a variety of coral species. These shrimp are commensal with anemones, which provide them with protection, while they may offer cleaning services in return. They are omnivorous and can be fed a diet of finely chopped seafood and prepared foods.
