Lysmata rafa [Lysmata rafa]
Description
This species is a compact, reef-dwelling cleaner shrimp that divers can sometimes find in sheltered areas like crevices and under ledges. Its quick, purposeful movements make it easy to miss at first—until you notice it returning to the same spots. With fish passing overhead or nearby, you may observe brief cleaning interactions that highlight how these tiny crustaceans contribute to reef life.
