forceps, the third pair being significantly larger but the others are mainly used for cleaning fishes (WAZA & Wikipedia).

Ecology The Banded Coral Shrimp Stenopus hispidus lives below the intertidal zone, at depth of up to 210 meters (690 feet), on coral reefs (Wikipedia). It is a non-obligate cleaner shrimp of larger fishes and therefore waits - upside down - for customers swimming by.

To signal is willing to clean it performs a dance shaking its white antennae and banded body (WAZA). Stenopus hispidus uses its three pairs of claws to remove parasites, fungi and damaged tissue from the fish (Wikipedia). It may also feed on small fishes, other crustaceans, snails and worms. Sometimes food is shared among mated partners. It rests by day and becomes active at dusk. Strong flips of its tail will help the Banded Coral Shrimp to escape in case of danger although no natural predatory enemies are known (WAZA).

The species lives in monogamy and occupies territories of 1-2 meter in diameter. Other crustaceans are not accepted within the territory. During mating the male will first display a courtship dance in front of the female. The male then transfers a sperm sack to the freshly moulted female which soon will inseminate the eggs and stick them to the abdominal legs. The young hatch after 16 days. Hatchlings will be attached to their mother for about six weeks before becoming part of the plankton. After some weeks and several moults the young settle down. The Banded Coral Shrimp may live 2-3 years, sometimes longer (WAZA).

Lost limbs are regenerated quite easily during the next moult (WAZA).

Distribution Stenopus hispidus has a pan-tropical distribution, extending into some temperate areas. It is found in the western Atlantic Ocean from Canada to Brazil, including the Gulf of Mexico. In Australia, it is found as far south as Sydney and it also occurs around New Zealand (Wikipedia).
