Tiger Shrimps are rare ;), am sure you would have been more excited to see it than this single leg of a Sea Star :p Tiger Shrimps are from the same family of Harlequin Shrimps, they feeds on Sea Stars. They cut the leg of the Sea Stars and drags it back to their home/lair and feeds on them over a few days :) But am not sure if this tiny Tiger Shrimp managed to cut off the leg of the Sea Star as it is kind of large for it, maybe just happened to be a lucky meal find for it.

This a leg of a Sea Star, but Marta, am not sure if you noticed and could have missed a nice spotting!!! There is a Tiger Shrimp just below it on the right side. Tiger Shrimps are very small, around 1 cm in size and usually lives in pairs.
