Periclimenes paivai [Periclimenes paivai]
Description
Periclimenes paivai is a small, delicate shrimp that divers may notice when it peeks out from the protective cover of reef invertebrates. Its movements are subtle—more like a gentle repositioning than a dramatic swim—so it’s often easiest to spot when you slow down and watch the host closely.
