Ancylomenes amirantei [Ancylomenes amirantei]
Description
Ancylomenes amirantei is a small, secretive shrimp that divers may see when it ventures out from its sheltered spot. It often stays close to its habitat, making short movements and quick disappearances when conditions change. With patient observation, you can sometimes catch it foraging or repositioning near the host before it retreats again.
