Collection: Marine Crustaceans (Shrimp, Crab)

Shrimp and crabs are often kept as a part of a cleanup crew, as they are efficient scavengers that can help to keep the aquarium free of uneaten food and other debris.

In particular, iodine is important for the growth and development of crustacean exoskeletons, which are composed primarily of chitin. Iodine helps to stimulate the production of chitin, which is essential for the formation of strong, durable exoskeletons that protect crustaceans from predators and other environmental stresses. We recommend to dose iodine weekly to keep these animals in good health.
