Peppermint shrimp — size comparison — facts and sources

The peppermint shrimp Lysmata wurdemanni has a translucent body with thin red lines. It occupies crevices and hard coastal substrates in the western Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.

It is secretive and collects animal foods; studies have also recorded consumption of small fish. Peppermint shrimp is a trade name covering several similar species. This account concerns L. wurdemanni, whose identification requires colour and structural details rather than red stripes alone.
