The Opae`ula we have come from the Big island. The Opae` ula eat food called Spirulina and it is green powder for shrimp to eat or they eat the algae from the rock. In several weeks we will make our habitat for our Opae`ula and we get to take it home at the end of summer school. Opae`ula means red shrimp(Opae means shrimp and ula means red). The temperature of the Opae ula has to be warm unless they will die because if it is too cold or too hot they will die. The Opae`ula can be white and pink when they are scared
