Odontodactylus latirostris [Odontodactylus latirostris]
Description
Divers may spot this small mantis shrimp tucked into crevices or burrows, often watching from a safe distance with its alert, turret-like eyes. If you linger quietly, you might see quick, darting movements as it patrols its home and snaps with surprising speed when something comes too close.
