In their natural habitat, Venus Anemone Shrimp also avoid predators by forming symbiotic relationships with stinging anemones, acclimating within their host's tendrils by chemically camouflaging themselves.

Provide the Venus Anemone Shrimp with plenty of hiding nooks and caves within the live rock, and avoid stoking with carnivorous fish that may make the Venus Anemone Shrimp a tempting meal.

Like other invertebrates, the Venus Anemone Shrimp is intolerant of copper-based medications, high nitrate levels, and fluctuating water parameters. It also requires the drip-acclimation process when first introduced to your system. Also, proper iodine supplementation is necessary to promote molting and growth. To supplement their diet, feed freeze-dried, frozen, and flake foods.
