Just the right size, the 5”x3” Jor Coco Shrimp Caves take up minimal space while still providing shelter, privacy and entertainment for your shrimp or other pets. Baby shrimps love to play around coco cave while the 2 side opening provides the perfect private space for grown-up shrimps to spawn, breed or relax. Although the Jor Coco Cave has a beauty of its own, it can be enhanced with alluring java moss. Simply place vibrant green java moss atop the cave and it will adhere and continue to grow, creating a unique living aquatic ornament. More than just a charming tank decoration, the Jor Coco Shrimp Cave is also a secure shelter, amusing recreation area and private hideout for your shrimps. Rinse the cave before placing it in the tank after boiling (optional) or soaking. A "post-boil soak" in freshwater is a recommended step. Although we obtain our products from established sources, the cave has traveled a long distance to make it to your aquarium. So in our opinion, the extra step is worthwhile.
