Saron (shrimp)
Saron is a small genus of caridean prawns from the family Thoridae, which were formerly classified as part of the Hippolytidae, the cleaner shrimps.[2] Some species are kept in the marine aquarium trade.[3] These are common on the reefs of the Indo-Pacific region and it is thought that there may be many more species yet to be described due to the high variability in colour observed.[4]
