The Lysmata Grabhami crustacean, also known as the coral cleaner shrimp, is a small sea animal. Its size generally varies between 3 and 5 cm, although it can reach up to 7 cm.

Its most distinctive characteristic is its bright pink color, which is due to the presence of red pigments in its shell. She also has white streaks on her antennas and legs.

The body of the coral cleaner shrimp is elongated and segmented, with a rounded head and webbed legs.

Hermaphrodite crustacean. But two individuals are essential because self -fertilization is impossible.

A shrimp playing the role of female can make sperm reserves. A few hundred round oefs of pale green color are retained by the small legs located under the abdomen (legs which by very frequent movements allow the oxygenation of the eggs). The eggs have fun after a few days. The hatching takes place after 8 to 10 days at 26 ° C, 1 to 2 hours after the extinction of the lighting. Lysmata Grabhami blossoms in the form of a zoé (advanced larval type). Please note, parents consider their offspring as a quality food.
