About 2 in. max., these shrimp are cruel predators. They eat starfish that are often a hundred times their size. They'll find a starfish and, working in teams of two, turn the entire starfish on it's back. Then they'll drag the starfish to a more secure place and eat just one of it's legs at a time. The starfish is alive throughout all but the very end of the meal; which may be weeks on from when it began.
