An Attractive shrimp but the problem is it hides most of the time. Usually you will only see its antennae peaking out from under a rock during the day. At night is when this shrimp comes out to scavenge the tank for food. This shrimp is sometimes refered to as a "cleaner shrimp", however it does not exibit any where the same amount of "cleaning" behaviors as the Scarlet cleaner Shrimp.

The Banded Coral Shrimp (Stenopus hispidus) is sometimes called a Banded Coral Shrimp, a Banded Cleaner Shrimp, a Banded Boxing Shrimp, or a Boxing Shrimp. It belongs to the family named Stenopodidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 3.0 inches in length, the Banded Coral Shrimp is passive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the evening hours or at night and less so during the day, and will hang out or do best in the rock structures. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is low and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Stenopus hispidus in general should have standard (3 watts/gallon) light to thrive. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include rockwork structure.
