	Fire (Blood) Shrimp - Lysmata debelius
		Like the skunk cleaner shrimp, it has some cleaning capabilities, though its instincts are not as strong.
		My fire shrimp simply isn't the swimmer that the glass shrimp is. The fire shrimp leaps and lunges and can swim to the surface of the water, but he has to work harder to do it and doesn't stay but for a few seconds.
		The tang won't allow the other cleaner shrimp anywhere near him, but he snuggles up to the fire shrimp and rolls over on his side when the fire shrimp jumps onto him.

	Rob Toonen - Culturing Shrimp .... #reefs Article www.reefs.org
		So the only confirmed report of successful rearing of these shrimp so far is from the Waikiki aquarium, and there are at least 3 different versions of "how they did it" floating around.
		I asked them while I was getting a tour of the facility and was told one story, Luis was told something different, and a third person (I can't remember who anymore) called and "spoke to the woman who raised them" and got yet another different protocol.
		The one thing that is consistent among all the versions of this story is that Waikiki used enormous flow through tanks on natural seawater (at least that is consistent between versions) and had some shrimp survive to metamorphose in their tanks.
