Reef Clean-Up Crew — Cleaner, Coral Banded & Peppermint Shrimp
Reef Clean-Up Crew — Cleaner, Coral Banded & Peppermint Shrimp
One of each of our most-requested reef janitors in a single order: a Cleaner Shrimp running the parasite-removal station, a Coral Banded Shrimp patrolling the rockwork after dark, and a Peppermint Shrimp on aiptasia duty. Different niches, different schedules, no turf war — and bundled below what the three would run separately.
Includes: 1x Cleaner Shrimp (Small), 1x Coral Banded Shrimp (Medium/Large), 1x Peppermint Shrimp (Large)
Care level: Moderate · Temperament: Semi-aggressive — the coral banded may harass the smaller two · Max size: ~3" each · Min tank: 40 gal, with separate hiding spots · Reef safe: With caution (may nip soft coral/inverts) · Diet: Carnivore, meaty foods + scavenger

When it ships
Most non-quarantined stock goes out the week you order. If we do not already have the animal in-house we source it first — allow up to two weeks for it to reach us. Live animals leave Monday and Tuesday, and Early AM Overnight is the only service that carries a live arrival guarantee.
The live guarantee
Shipped Early AM Overnight: a 1-hour DOA window from confirmed delivery, and nothing beyond it. Next Day Air and 2-Day carry no live arrival guarantee, and neither does USPS Priority. Local pickup or local delivery: 24 hours, if you bring a water sample from your aquarium and we test it before the animal goes home. Maintenance clients: 60 days when we service the aquarium at least twice a month, 28 days on a monthly plan.
