Peppermint Shrimp - Lysmata wurdemanni

The peppermint shrimp makes a fantastic clean up crew in a saltwater aquarium. They have become very popular because you actually have to work less cleaning the tank thanks to these invertebrates. They have a semitransparent, creamy-reddish exoskeleton with red longitudinal, transverse, and oblique bands distributed around the body, a carapace with broad transverse and oblique V-shaped bands.
