Nylon Shrimps [Heterocarpus]
Description
Heterocarpus nylon shrimps are slender, fast-moving shrimp that typically inhabit deeper or sand-and-rock areas. Underwater, divers often notice their long, delicate bodies and quick retreats into crevices when approached. They’re most likely to be seen during calm dives when you slow down and scan the seafloor for subtle movement.
