    Default Female Anemone Shrimp w/Eggs

    Picked up a new anemone shrimp (female) to hang with my existing anemone shrimp (male). At least my guess is this is a girl cause it seems to be carrying eggs located between the larger spots on her abdomen.

    I didn't get a great close up of the eggs, but here is a blown up photo of its head...I don't see much for brains in there...

    Very cool. I think your tank has more crustaceans than Red Lobster!

    Not planning to raise any at this time...I suppose if I saw eggs regularly I would be tempted to research what all it would take.
