What is the longest time you have had a harlequin shrimp live in your tank?

You have been waiting nearly 10 years to get an answer so its time you got one.

I have only had one of these and he stayed with me for 2 years, 10 months and 11 days to be exactly. Do not know how old he was when I got him, but it seems he died of old age because he had plenty of seastars as food, was never bullied and didnt have an accident.

i had mine just a bit over two years.

she ate a lot of chocolate chip starfish, which was expensive, but she was always so fun to watch.
