These shrimps are popular in the aquarium trade due to their vibrant color and beneficial role in controlling pest anemones. Typically growing to about 3 to 4 inches in length, they play a crucial part in the marine ecosystem by consuming detritus and parasites, which helps maintain the health of their environment. Their distinctive red and white striped pattern not only serves as camouflage among coral but also makes them a visually appealing subject for underwater photography.
