Richer’s cleaner shrimp [Periclimenes richeri]
Description
This shrimp is typically found in reef environments where it can use crevices and nearby invertebrates for shelter. Divers may see it as a subtle flash of movement—pausing on the reef, then quickly retreating—while it forages along surfaces and around its chosen habitat.
