Ancylomenes batei [Ancylomenes batei]
Description
Ancylomenes batei is a small shrimp that tends to live in close association with reef structure, often staying near the places where fish and invertebrates congregate. Divers might see it perched or moving along the substrate, taking advantage of passing opportunities to feed and clean. Its subtle movements and preference for cover make it easiest to spot with slow, careful scanning.
