Periclimenes maldivensis [Periclimenes maldivensis]
Description
On warm, clear reefs, this shrimp can appear as a slender, semi-translucent figure that blends into the nooks and crannies of the habitat. Divers often notice it by its quick movements and by the way it stays near its host, peering out from crevices.
