Jundalini cleaner shrimp [Lysmata jundalini]
Description
Divers may notice this cleaner shrimp as it patrols or waits close to reef structure, ready to interact with passing fish. Its compact size and quick, darting movements make it easy to miss at first, but it often becomes visible when fish gather nearby. Watch for brief cleaning bouts—small, precise motions as it works along the fish’s skin and fins.
