   Coral banded shrimp (Stenopus hispidus), commonly known as “Cleaner shrimp”, “Boxer shrimp”, “Barber pole shrimp”, and “Clown shrimp”, is one of the most popular decapods in the marine aquarium trade due to its bright coloration and hardiness.
   
   Coral banded shrimp occur in the Indo-Pacific region, Red Sea and Western Atlantic Ocean, where stocks are heavily collected to satisfy the marine ornamental trade demand.
   
   This species inhabits rocky or coralline areas from a depth of a few centimeters to at least 30 meters.
   
   They are known for their vibrant red and white stripes as well as their bands on their pincer claws. Coral banded shrimp are characterized by very long white antennae and antennules, by bright red bars banding its white body, and by enlarged, chelated, third pereiopods.
   
   These shrimp usually range between 5 – 7 cm (2 – 3 inches).
