Prettier than this picture shows. |

While not as striking as the Randall's shrimp. This one is pretty in its own right. Has a lot of personality. My Nassarius snails keep going in his lair to clean and he throws them out. Same with any cope pods that happen into his lair. Lively as soon as we let him out of the bag. |
