Field Notes

Description:

This are very small Shrimps, up to 1.5cm in size. They are very well camouflage on the the whip coral.

This one is of a different Whip Coral Shrimp from my previous spot, but taken during night dive, showing some luminiscence

Habitat:

Lives exclusively on whip/wire coral, hence, its name.
