Saltwater Aquarium Crustaceans

Shrimp and crab care information

Saltwater Aquarium Crustaceans covers the shrimp and crab species kept in aquariums. Crustaceans shed their exoskeleton as they grow and need a place to hide during that period. Crabs that carry a shell need empty seashells available in the aquarium. Each species page gives water values, diet and compatibility.
