Sexy shrimp (Thor amboinensis) are tiny, eye-catching reef invertebrates known for their constant “dancing” motion and bold personalities. With their translucent bodies accented by white spots and flashes of red or orange, they add lively movement and charm to nano and full-size reef tanks alike. Often found hosting in anemones or large-polyp corals, sexy shrimp are social, peaceful, and best enjoyed in small groups where their playful behavior really stands out.
