I went at night and low tide. They were literally jumping over the sand or out of the seaweed

I find a tidepool with algae hanging over the edge of the rock into the water move the algae and they will be hiding against the rocks...

he is doing great! these shrimp wil live in temp from something like 40 to 90 and can live in almost fresh water to super salinity water talk about hearty....
he does try pushing snails and fish away for food but dosnt bother anything at all. its actually a great little cleaner. its like a cleaner shrimp but dosnt bother coral,fish.. and eats everything from algae and pods to nori and pellets

OK so I saw a post similar to this awhile back about pods. I'm on the coast for work literally everyday and know of elf some really good spots to collect but never have. I always figured this stuff would need to be in a cold water tank, but by the sounds of it as long as you slow acclimate them, some stuff will survive in our reef systems. The spots that I go by are not used for boating and there are clam diggers and crab pickers there at every low tide. Am I assuming right? If so, I can see myself taking some half hour breaks and collecting. What about limpets and cowries you find on the coast?

If so, I can see myself taking some half hour breaks and collecting. What about limpets and cowries you find on the coast? I'm no expert but I would just be careful. Lots of species we have up here are much different and will eat lots of things you don't want them to. I went to the coast and found a beautiful little white and purple Urchin and was about to bring it home until a fellow reefer told me it would devour my corals. Plus it probably wouldn't of survived the warmer water long. These shrimp are different and can be in big variations of water temp and salinity. I don't think the one rob had and the one being sold are the same species anyways, Just looked alike. I think the shrimp for sale was bred by Pederson or found by him? His name is in the second part off the scientific name. Sent from my SM-N910R4 using proboards |

Both shrimp are different species. The ones Rob found are considered to be a non native invasive species.

OK. I think now that the weather is warming up, I might just start checking things out. Want to gather up some pods for the new system anyway. If I find something I'm interested on adding to system I'll research it first while acclimating it. If not safe I'll just return it.
