Camelback Shrimp - South Asia

The Camelback Shrimp, Rhynchocinetas durbanensis, also known as the Camel Shrimp, Hinge Back Shrimp, Dancing Shrimp, Candy Shrimp or Humpback Shrimp, features a characteristic bump on its back with the same colors and patterns as the Peppermint Shrimp. It is a peaceful species that thrives in tanks with plenty of live rockwork and will be a beneficial tank member as it is a proficient sand-sifter, will feed on detritus, and generally keep the tank clean. Like most other Shrimp species, the Camelback Shrimp molts often releasing itself of its former exoskeleton as it grows larger.
