Heterocarpus calmani [Heterocarpus calmani]
Description
Heterocarpus calmani is a deep-sea shrimp that divers may encounter on soft bottoms or along slopes where fine sediment collects. Look for a small shrimp-like silhouette that slowly drifts or pauses near the substrate, then darts away when disturbed. Because it lives in darker, deeper habitats, sightings are often subtle and best noticed with steady, slow scanning.
