Opae ula behavior. All huddle on 1 shell.

Post by Yorumi »

Hi everyone! I have recently set up a new opae ula tank. The shrimps where pretty much active the entire day. Apart from hiding when there is a strong sunlight.

At night however, I just realise almost all of them crowding on 1 particular shell. Is this normal opae ula behavior?? To huddle on 1 "item"?
Almost all shrimps on 1 shell. Normal night behavior?

That's totally fine. They probably don't see the need to run around looking for food as there is plenty where they sit. Also, if you tank hasn't fully matured they are sitting around waiting for "better times." :)
