Veleronis Cleaner Shrimp [Periclimenes veleronis]
Description
Divers searching around coral heads, rocky outcrops, or sheltered reef edges may find this shrimp tucked into the structure. When it feels safe, it becomes more visible—slowly fanning its antennae and shifting position as fish pass nearby.
