Lysmata wirtzi [Lysmata wirtzi]
Description
This cleaner shrimp is a reef-dweller that tends to stay close to rocky shelters, emerging when fish come by to be cleaned. Underwater, you may notice it performing quick, deliberate movements as it inspects fish and then retreats back into its hiding spot.
