Lysmata moorei [Lysmata moorei]
Description
Moore’s cleaner shrimp is often encountered on reefs where it patrols sheltered areas and forages along the substrate. Divers may spot it near cleaning stations or in spots where fish linger, since cleaner shrimp activity can attract curious reef residents. Expect quick, purposeful movements and a habit of disappearing into cover when the scene gets too busy.
