About
The White Specter Crayfish is an albino or leucistic form of Procambarus displaying translucent to pure white colouration that gives it an unmistakable ghostly appearance. It retains the hardiness and adaptability of its North American Procambarus relatives while offering a truly dramatic visual impact. Despite its otherworldly appearance, it is aggressive and predatory like all crayfish and requires a species-specific setup or large fish-only tank.
