Zanzibar CoralBanded Shrimp
Stenopus zanzibaricus
Hard to Find! Red Feelers and Red Antenna's
Description:
The Zanzibar Banded Coral Shrimp (Stenopus zanzibaricus) has a red and white body, Red legs and golden yellow abdomen. Very similar to the Atlantic Golden Coral Banded Shrimp (S. scutellatus) but Zanzibar has red antennae while the Golden Banded Coral Shrimp's antennae are white. The Zanzibar Banded Coral Shrimp is also more predominately white while the Golden Banded Coral Shrimp is more yellow-gold.
All crustaceans will benefit from supplements of iodine and mineral to help form a healthy and hard exoskeleton. Regular interval water changes with a good, high quality salt mixe usually provides enough of both, but extra supplements may be needed in reef tanks or in tanks with heavy invertebrates loads that use up iodine and other minerals rapidly.
Food and Diet:
Coral Banded Shrimp shrimp are omnivores that will eat anything meaty and some greens. They will graze from one end to another end of the tank on microalgae's. But upon introducing a few pellets or a tasty morsel of some sort they head straight for it. Generally any kind of sinking pellet will do.

Coral Beauty Angelfish
Centropyge bispinosus
We support sustainably collected marine fish from Bali, Fiji, and Solomon Islands
Description:
The Coral Beauty Angelfish is a hardy dwarf angel that is generally resistant to disease and a relatively peaceful fish. The Coral Beauty is as intelligent as the larger angelfish and will only be a terror if kept in a smaller tanks where it feels it must defend its little piece of the reef. It can be kept in a spacious community aquarium with fish of a similar size and disposition, and lots of hiding places. Unlike other dwarf angels, the Coral Beauty Angelfish does not pick on smaller tank mates unless there is competition for algae in a smaller tank. The Coral Beauty Angelfish is the least likely of all dwarf angels to bother corals when housed in larger tanks.
Food and Diet:
Dwarf Angelfish are omnivore's. In the wild it feeds primarily on algae, but it will also ingest tiny animals living in the algae. In captivity their diet will be mostly algae, but also offer some other proteins. Feeding them a variety of good foods is important. Offer various types of fresh and dried marine algae, spirulina enriched foods, mysis shrimp, shaved shrimp and other high-quality meaty foods, angelfish preparations, and flakes or pellets designed for algae eating fish.

Powder Blue Tang
Acanthurus leucosternon
Click to view video of Powder Blue Tang
Description:
The powder blue tang is one of the most beautiful and coveted fish for marine aquariums. A mature powder blue tang has many different shades of blue, from dark navy to light powder blue, with bright yellow on the dorsal fin and dramatic black markings on the face. Will do best in a reef aquarium with plenty of live rock and hiding places. Provide Powder Blues with plenty of open swimming room. In the wild they swim all over the reef grazing on algae.
Food and diet:
The Powder Blue Tang requires a diet very similar to many of the other surgeonfish kept in captivity. These fish are primarily herbivores, so offering them a good crop of freeze-dried algae sheets coupled with an aquarium containing natural-growing algae works well.

Purple Dottyback
Pseudochromis porphyreus
Identification:
:Also known by the common name Magenta Dottyback, what makes this particular species so appealing? Maybe it is its dazzling purple coloration, or perhaps it has something to do with its interestingly curious nature. A 10 gallon or larger aquarium is the correct size. Using live rock, provide ample hiding places, caves, crevices for the fish to go within, seek as home, or use as a hiding place when necessary.
Food and diet:
Dottybacks are carnivorous and naturally prey upon small shrimp, amphipods, copepods and bristleworms. In the aquarium they should be fed a variety of meaty foods such as live, frozen, freeze-dried, and vitamin enriched brine shrimp, finely chopped mysis shrimp, finely chopped krill and other sea foods; as well as carnivore/omnivore pellets and flake foods.
Level of Care:
Easy

Low prices on marine life like you wll never see anywhere else. We sharpened our pencil to give you the lowest prices possible on saltwater aquarium fish, a huge selection of live corals, and marine invertebrates including some rare one's not often found! Beyond the fact of our enormous variety, as of 2021, there are no other marine life distributors that have their facilities designed for the long term holding of saltwater fish, live coral and invertebrates as Aquarium Creations has. All incoming saltwater aquarium fish, live coral, and marine invertebrates go to our long term holding facility, after acclimation and are held there for a period of time from 15 days to 30 days, releasing to our ship out facilities only when confident of the health and quality of the specimens. In our long term systems, the animal's stress level remains low and feeding response well above what short term shippers see and provide. The benefits are many. Any problems are discovered while the marine life is at our holding facility not after delivery to our customers. All marine life is shipped stronger, more stress-free, eating so much better, with good stomachs and in better condition then "ocean fresh" fish could ever be shipped. We hope you too will order now and see the large difference.
Copyright 2021 Aquarium Creations Online. While we do our best to make an accurate representation of marine life on our website there is no guarantee that the actual marine life delivered will match the colors seen on your computer. Often the color reproduction on a computer screen or mobile device may not produce the correct colors.
