Ancylomenes longicarpus [Ancylomenes longicarpus]
Description
Divers may notice this shrimp as a small, alert inhabitant of reef cracks and crevices. Its presence is usually subtle—more a sudden movement than a dramatic display—yet it can be fascinating to watch as it adjusts position near its refuge. If you linger and keep your distance, you might see it reappear between passes.
