How long can skunk cleaner shrimp live out of water?

Skunk cleaner shrimp (Lysmata amboinensis) are marine creatures and cannot survive out of water for an extended period of time. They require a humid environment with access to saltwater to thrive. If a skunk cleaner shrimp is removed from its natural habitat, it will likely start to suffocate and eventually die within a few minutes to hours, depending on the conditions it is exposed to.
