Question about tiger shrimp..

2 posts

  1. Hoping someone can answer this... In Lembeh Strait, I took photos of a pair of tiger shrimp (Phyllognathia ceratophthalmus). Is the larger of the pair typically the female? Or the male?

     

    Thanks...

  2. Females are usually larger. When you see paired shrimp like Hymenocera picgta or Periclimenes colemani the largest one is the female.
