Pederson Cleaner Shrimp (Ancylomenes pedersoni)
Overview:
The Pederson Cleaner Shrimp is a small, strikingly colorful reef shrimp known for its symbiotic cleaning behavior. It actively removes parasites and dead tissue from fish, making it both functional and visually appealing in reef aquariums.

Omnivorous. Feeds on parasites, detritus, and leftover food. In captivity, will accept finely chopped seafood, mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and high-quality prepared foods.
Tank Mates:
Peaceful and reef-safe. Compatible with all reef fish and invertebrates. Its cleaning behavior benefits tank mates rather than causing stress.
