Anemone Shrimps [Periclimenes]
Description
Periclimenes anemone shrimps are tiny, often translucent cleaners that live right alongside sea anemones. Divers may spot them peeking from the anemone’s tentacles, darting in and out as they forage for food and help keep the host clean. With a little patience, you can watch them “hover” in the anemone’s protection while small fish and invertebrates pass by.
