Perturbans Shrimp [Periclimenes perturbans]
Description
Often seen in close association with reef invertebrates, this shrimp can be surprisingly easy to miss until you look closely at the nooks and edges of its host. Divers may notice it as a small, semi-transparent figure that shifts position when the surrounding water movement changes.
