Periclimenes pandionis [Periclimenes pandionis]
Description
Divers sometimes find this shrimp in association with larger reef animals, where it benefits from protection and a steady food supply. It often appears as a tiny, translucent figure that flicks its antennae and shifts along the host’s surface, then pauses as if “checking in” with its surroundings.
