You do not eat coral shrimp.



The Coral Banded Shrimp is a very popular invertebrate that is kept in many marine aquariums. They are usually found in small crevices or hanging from live rock in the aquarium. Most of their time is spent in hiding and you won't see them walking around very often. It is important to make sure they are getting their share of food around feeding time. This may mean that you have to use a feeding stick and place the food directly in front of them so they can grab it. It's probably not a good choice for reef aquariums because they have a tendency to pinch at corals and anemones looking for food.

If your shrimp loses one of its arms or claws, don't worry. They will regenerate it the next time they molt. Iodine supplements may need to be added to your tank water.

This answer is off-base and jordanndeck's question should not be considered resolved. "Coral Shrimp" is indeed the name of a common Chinese restaurant dish; the name doesn't imply that coral banded shrimp (stenopus hispidus) is an ingredient... "Coral Shrimp" is simply the name of the dish.
