Common name: Tozeuma Shrimp

Scientific name: Tozeuma

Tozeuma shrimp are a genus of long, slender decapod crustaceans found in coral reefs. They are known for their camouflage abilities, often mimicking the appearance of small sticks or algae. These shrimps are peaceful and can be a fascinating addition to a reef aquarium, where they contribute to the clean-up crew by feeding on detritus and algae. They are generally hardy but require stable water conditions and plenty of hiding places among live rock or coral branches.
