The Peppermint Shrimp (\u003cem\u003eLysmata wurdemanni\u003c\/em\u003e) is one of the most sought-after saltwater aquarium additions for good reason — its bold candy-cane striping makes it a visual standout, and its appetite for nuisance Aiptasia anemones makes it genuinely invaluable. Far from a passive decoration, this species earns its place in any serious reef tank the moment it hits the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTypically reaching 1.5 to 2 inches at maturity, Peppermint Shrimp are active, social, and surprisingly personable — often venturing out during feeding time and becoming a favorite to watch. They thrive in groups, making them an especially rewarding marine aquarium addition for aquarists who want both function and character in a single specimen. As simultaneous hermaphrodites, a group will readily breed in a well-maintained home aquarium, adding an extra layer of excitement for the dedicated hobbyist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQUICK STATS \u0026amp; CARE GUIDE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peppermint Shrimp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 1 – 1.5 inches (juvenile to sub-adult)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy — an excellent choice for beginners and experienced reefers alike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful; may occasionally nip at certain soft coral polyps if underfed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omnivore — Aiptasia anemones, detritus, meaty foods, and prepared marine foods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, with caution — keep well-fed to discourage any polyp nipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Temp 72–78°F | Salinity 1.023–1.025 | pH 8.1–8.4 | dKH 8–12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHY BUY FROM THE CORAL BOUTIQUE?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Peppermint Shrimp at The Coral Boutique is ethically sourced, fully quarantined, and conditioned in our facility until it is actively feeding and thriving — so what arrives at your door is healthy, acclimated, and ready to get to work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Coral Boutique","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67630688796947,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/3647\/2595\/files\/IMG-3596.webp?v=1791495509","url":"https:\/\/thecoralboutique.com\/products\/peppermint-shrimp","provider":"The Coral Boutique","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
