Description

These delightful shrimps are commonly seen on carpet anemones (Stichodactyla haddoni) on many of our shores. They are usually found in a pair, the female being larger with more white markings, while the male is usually all transparent.  More about these shrimps and about this sea anemone on the wildfacts sheets on wildsingapore.  300dpi photo free for download as part of the International Year of the Reef.
