Genus
Common name: Sexy Shrimp
Scientific name: Parhippolyte
Parhippolyte is a genus of small, ornamental shrimp known for their unique, often vibrant coloration and the characteristic 'dancing' motion they exhibit, which has earned them the nickname 'Sexy Shrimp'. These shrimp are popular in the reef aquarium hobby for their ability to coexist with a variety of coral species, and they are often seen perching on or near anemones, with which they can form symbiotic relationships. They are relatively easy to care for, requiring stable water conditions and regular feeding with a diet rich in meaty foods.
