Genus

Common name: Striped Prawn

Scientific name: Solenocera

Solenocera is a genus of prawns found in the family Solenoceridae. These prawns are known for their distinctive striping and are found in various marine environments. They are not commonly kept in home aquariums due to their specific habitat needs and larger size. In the wild, they play a role in the benthic food web, serving as prey for larger fish and other marine predators. Their biology and behavior can be fascinating for those interested in marine life, but they are more often a subject of scientific study rather than a choice for aquarists.
