Enoplometopus daumi [Enoplometopus daumi]
Description
Enoplometopus daumi is a small reef-dwelling lobster-like crustacean that often hides in crevices and under overhangs. Divers who look closely may spot it peeking out, then quickly retreating when disturbed. Its compact, alert stance and reef-hugging behavior make it a fun, challenging find on rocky or coral-covered walls.
