Lysmata pederseni [Lysmata pederseni]
Description
This Lysmata shrimp is a reef-friendly cleaner that divers often notice by its bold, alert behavior. It tends to stay close to the substrate, peeking from cracks and then scuttling out when fish approach. Under good visibility, you may see it repeatedly return to the same spots where cleaning activity seems to be happening.
