Lysmata kuekenthali [Lysmata kuekenthali]
Description
Divers often spot this small cleaner shrimp cruising along rocky bottoms and reef edges, where it picks at tiny organisms and debris. Look for its alert, waving antennae and quick darting movements as it checks crevices for food. In many areas it’s most noticeable when other reef animals are nearby, since cleaner behavior can draw attention.
