From our species guide
In plain words: The Skunk Cleaner Shrimp is a small shrimp with a stripe down its back, just like a skunk. Its body is yellow-orange, with two red stripes and one thin white stripe on top, and it has long white feelers.
Cleaner shrimp set up “cleaning stations” where fish line up to be groomed. They are hardy, peaceful and endlessly fun to watch. Acclimate slowly; shrimp are sensitive to salinity changes.
