Galaxie's has been getting popular because they were once $50-$200 shrimps but has been made affordable over recent years. Black Galaxies are graded with the amount of spots on its cheek as well as how big those spots are. Low grade are 1 to 3 spots, mid grade are 4 to 5 spots, and high grade are 6 to 8 or even more.
