聖誕節我們給大家帶了許多聖誕色彩，這一篇有關聖誕之白-夏威夷小丑蝦的美圖欣賞，大家一起看看吧！
小丑蝦（Harlequin Shrimp）是水族箱中最惹人喜愛、最豔麗的甲殼類動物之一。在顏色、圖案和行為方面，它與雀尾螳螂蝦（Peacock Mantis Shrimp）相似，但更容易適應在珊瑚缸中生活。
雖然小丑蝦在美國的魚類商店中非常普遍，但是還有一些圖案更醒目、顏色更多樣的品種通常被稱為「夏威夷小丑蝦」。夏威夷小丑蝦有著菲律賓普通小丑蝦的尖頭和澳大利亞小丑蝦飽滿的顏色。
這兩種顏色的小丑蝦來自不同的地方。「普通」的小丑蝦有著較淡的斑點，斑點輪廓為藍色，來自印度洋和印度洋-太平洋地區，而色彩更鮮豔的「夏威夷」小丑蝦主要來自太平洋中部和東部。
這兩種顏色鮮豔的小丑蝦區別較大。人們曾誤認為它們是兩種不同的物種，將常見的小丑蝦命名為Hymenocera elegans，將太平洋/夏威夷小丑蝦命名為Hymenocera picta，但現在人們認為它們是同一物種Hymenocera picta。由於這個物種有個獨特的習慣——只吃海星，因此人們很少將它們放在普通的珊瑚缸中。
要飼養這些蝦，玩家可能要花費非常多來購買它們的食物，但還有一些較便宜的餵養方法。最流行的飼養技巧應該是給它們餵食正海星這樣的大型普通海星。將海星放在單獨的水族箱中，每周切下一個腕來餵養小丑蝦，五個腕都已經「用完」後，就將海星的中央部分投餵給這些蝦。
這隻小丑蝦是今年早些時候經人工繁殖而成的，但由於人們對這個物種的需求不大，所以即使從野生珊瑚礁收集也不會造成過度捕撈。這些夏威夷小丑蝦的圖片來自日本寵物商店Splash Aqua。更多信息，請查看Waikiki Aquarium的網頁。

原文：
The Harlequin Shrimp is one of the most flamboyant crustaceans that we enjoy in our aquariums. It’s right up there with the peacock mantis shrimp in terms of color, pattern and behavior, although it’s a lot easier to accomodate in a community reef tank.
While the Harlequin Shrimp is actually quite common in local fish stores, there’s a bolder much more colorful variety often referred to as the Hawaiian harlequin shrimp. Much like the harlequin tusk comes in a regular filipino form and a supersaturated Australian color form, so too does the harlequin shrimp.
The two color forms come from different places with the 『normal』 harlequin shrimp with paler spots and a blue outline coming from the Indian Ocean and Indo-Pacific region, while the brighter 『hawaiian』 harlequin shrimp coming mostly from the central and East Pacific Ocean.
These two forms of this wildly colored shrimp are so different that they were once considered two different species, Hymenocera elegans for the common harlequin and H. picta for the Pacific/Hawaiian Harlequin, but today they are both considered a single species, Hymenocera picta. If you’re wondering why this species isn’t more commonly kept in just a regular reef tank it’s because these shrimp have the peculiar habit of eating only starfish!
The normal Indo-Pacific form of the Harlequin shrimp with a more noticeable blue outline to their spots.
This might seem like a very expensive diet for these shrimp but there are ways to feed these shrimp without breaking the bank. The most popular technique seems to be to use a large common starfish like a chocolate chip starfish, cutting off one leg every week or so while keeping it in a separate aquarium, and feeding the central body once the five legs have been 『prepared』 for these curious shrimp.
This shrimp was only successfully bred in captivity earlier this year but due to the moderate demand there is little danger of over-collecting these creatures from the reef. These fresh pictures of the rarely seen hawaiian harlequin shrimp come to us from Japanese pet store Splash Aqua and for more information do check out the webpage by the Waikiki Aquarium.
