Moyebi Shrimp [Metapenaeus moyebi]
Description
Moyebi shrimp are typically found on or near the seafloor, where they hunt for tiny food items in the sediment. Underwater, they’re most noticeable when they briefly pause in the open or scuttle away from disturbances, showing subtle speckling and a fast, purposeful movement.
