Heterocarpus fascirostratus [Heterocarpus fascirostratus]
Description
This nylon shrimp is a small, streamlined crustacean that divers may spot in deeper, soft-bottom areas where it stays close to the substrate. Look for a quick, delicate movement—often just a brief glimpse—before it settles into the sediment or slips into nearby cover.
