culp686 Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 more like a camel shrimp if you ask me. The hump on the back gives it away. THey look like peppermint, but don't eat aptasia. dsoz That's what we were thinking. We have it in our tank with two camel shrimp that are fully colored. Just cant understand why this little shrimp has no color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Peppermint, mine looked like that when they are ready to molt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talkalot82 Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 well I have a camel shrimp and its hump is more pointed than this one, and he is brighter red and white than my peppermint.though my peppermint has a hump as well. I hope its not a camel because camel are known to eats mushrooms and polyps. Just not reef friendly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
