Ancylomenes lipkei [Ancylomenes lipkei]
Description
Ancylomenes lipkei is a cryptic shrimp that divers often encounter only when it briefly emerges from its chosen shelter. It tends to be associated with reef structures and rubble, where it can stay protected while still feeding. With careful observation, you may catch it hovering near the opening of a crevice before it disappears again.
