I made a slow motion of how the Opae Ula use their claws. Notice how much it opens up the claws. :hmm:

Actually see it feeding to their mouths. I also noticed he/she is right hand dominate since it uses the right claw more.

It is an LED light with mostly white LEDs with some blue and red. It is on a timer so all turn off and on.

Per article and I assume Opae Ula has the same characteristics. The video I took shows at least 3 times male Opae Ula doing the "drunking manner" or trying to harass her to mate.



"It is believed that shortly after molting the female is ready to mate. The way in which the male knows that the female is ready to mate is unknown. Perhaps she releases a chemical signal or some other type of notification that only shrimp can detect. It is known though that when a female molts the males in the tank will swim around the tank in a drunken manner looking to find the ready female."
