These shrimp are similar to Harlequin shrimp and feed upon the tube feet of echinoderms
Tangs may get territorial and aggressive towards similar tangs
Best kept in dimly lit 125 gallon tanks with a few caves/hideouts and a few tankmates as they are quite shy
but aquariums are not always well equipped to provide them with sufficient algae
