Emperor Shrimp

[Rudypoop]

Well before I ask my question I would like to talk about my recent experience with Liveaquaria, just about a week ago I had orded a Touzma Ghost Pipe shrimp, Porcelin Crab and some snails and I have to complement the guys/ girls at Liveaquaria for a job well done, all of the things that I orded came in good condition there was a sort of mess up at Fedex and my package didn't come until like 5 but that was not any of your guy's fault and all the livestock was still fine. I will order from you again in the future.

Now to my question, I was wondering if you guys ever had Emperor Shrimp (Periclimenes imperator) in stock, they appear to be pretty hard to come by but I have been looking for one for a while now and cannot seem to find anywhere online that has them or has had them for a while now. Also if you do ever have them in stock do you know much the cost for one would be?

Thank you for the assistance

All right I will do that, and thank you for the quick response.

Keep in mind that emperor shrimp in the wild are opportunistic hitchhikers; that is the ride on another animal such as certain nudibranchs, some sea cucumbers, etc. As such it will be difficult, although not impossible, to replicate their natural environment.

Well I have had them before and instead of their natural host they will ride on some snails like Turbos and my old one even would take rides on my hermit crabs.
