Periclimenes carinidactylus [Periclimenes carinidactylus]
Description
Look for this slender shrimp in and around reef crevices, where it can blend in with the background until it suddenly shifts position. Divers sometimes spot it near larger invertebrates, watching it “station-keep” in place before darting a few centimeters when disturbed.
