Pitti Shrimp [Periclimenes pitti]
Description
Pitti shrimp are small and often blend into the complex habitat of their host, making them a great “look closer” find for divers. If you pause and watch, you may see it gently fan its antennae or make short movements along the host’s surface before settling back into camouflage.
