Heterocarpus cutressi [Heterocarpus cutressi]
Description
Divers exploring deeper waters may find Heterocarpus cutressi near the seafloor, where it uses the substrate and crevices for cover. It’s typically small and unobtrusive, but a careful look can reveal a shrimp that slowly patrols or pauses before darting away. These sightings highlight how much life exists just beyond the edge of recreational diving’s brightest, shallow zones.
