Genus
Common name: Pliopontonia Shrimp
Scientific name: Pliopontonia
Pliopontonia is a genus of shrimp known for their symbiotic relationships with various marine invertebrates, including sea anemones and corals. These small, often colorful crustaceans are fascinating additions to reef aquariums, where they can be observed engaging in their natural behaviors. They are generally peaceful and can coexist with a wide range of tank mates. Hobbyists should provide them with ample hiding spaces and a mature aquarium with established microfauna for grazing.
