Bryozoan Shrimp [Thor floridanus]
Description
Divers may spot this tiny shrimp tucked into or near bryozoan colonies, where it blends in with the lacy, reef-building growth. With patience, you can sometimes see it peeking out and making quick, darting movements as it forages along the colony surface.
