Sexy Shrimp (Thor amboinensis) – Product Description

Bring personality and charm to your nano reef with the Sexy Shrimp, one of the most entertaining and eye-catching ornamental shrimp in the hobby. Known for their signature “dancing” sway, these tiny crustaceans add constant movement and character to any saltwater aquarium. Their striking orange-brown bodies decorated with bold white spots make them stand out beautifully among corals and rockwork.

The Sexy Shrimp thrives in peaceful reef environments and is especially popular for nano and pico aquariums. They are reef-safe and enjoy perching on soft corals, anemones, and live rock while exhibiting their playful, rhythmic wiggle. Due to their small size, they do best in groups and with non-aggressive tankmates. With proper care and stable water quality, Sexy Shrimp are hardy, active, and incredibly rewarding to observe.
