Coleman's Cleaner Shrimp [Periclimenes colemani]
Description
Divers often spot this small shrimp hovering close to reef fish or near the bases of corals, where it may act as a cleaner. With its translucent body and quick, darting movements, it’s easy to miss—until it pauses to inspect passing fish.
