The length of the Whip Coral Shrimp is only 1.5 centimeters (0.6 inches), which is much smaller than regular shrimp, with an average size of about 4-8 centimeters. The color is usually red and white, and the body is covered with interesting spine-like structures. These textured shrimp live in whip corals at depths of 210 meters to 10 meters, camouflaging themselves with coral and feeding on algae and even parasites.

1. Water mold disease
Discover that the shrimp's body is covered with "white hair". The disease progresses, the affected muscles rot, appetite decreases, and ultimately death occurs. This disease can occur at any time of the year.
Treatment method: A. Soak the diseased shrimp in 3% saline water once a day for 5-10 minutes each time.
2. Black spot disease
Black spots appear on the shrimp's body, showing a grayish-white color. The mycelium wraps around and adheres to the cell tissue at the wound, causing tissue necrosis. At the same time, the diseased fish's appetite decreases and eventually dies.
Treatment: Put a small amount of salt in the fish tank where the new shrimp is kept to inhibit the occurrence of water mold. Pay attention to cleanliness and disinfection when adding live bait. Keep the water clean to isolate the growth of water mold. This can generally prevent the occurrence of this disease.
3. Fungus
Symptoms: White fluffy substances tightly adhere to the shrimp's shell surface, which cannot be washed off and spreads all over the shrimp's back.
Treatment: Apply tannic acid ointment or aureomycin ointment on the shrimp's shell, let it dry for 1 hour, then wash it clean and put it in water. Pay attention to temperature difference once a day.
Cause: Bacteria in the water.
Prevention: Keep the water quality clean.
There is a fundamental difference between water alkali and fungus. Water alkali is caused by excessive alkaline substances in the water, which is attached to the shrimp living in the water for a long time. It does not affect the health of the shrimp, but only affects the appearance. You can brush it with vinegar. What can be brushed off is water alkali, and what cannot be brushed off may be fungus or water mold.
1. Disinfection of the shrimp pond water. First, use 0.25ppm of bromoethylamine to sterilize the entire pool, and sprinkle it again every half a month until early July, using it continuously for more than 3 times, or alternating with other drugs.
2. Timely addition of organic fertilizer to cultivate organic aquatic plants. Due to the frequent use of drugs in the shrimp pond water, a large amount of organic matter in the water is consumed, which is not conducive to the normal growth needs of the shrimp, so organic fertilizer should be added.
