Metapenaeus demani [Metapenaeus demani]
Description
This prawn is typically found on or near the seafloor, where it forages among sediments and detritus. Divers may spot it during slow, careful bottom searches—watching for quick scuttles and the telltale retreat into the substrate when something passes overhead.
