Squat Anemone Shrimp [Thor amboinensis]
Description
Squat anemone shrimp are small but charismatic, often living in close association with anemones. Divers can spot them peeking from anemone tentacles, where they benefit from protection while helping keep the area tidy—sometimes with a quick retreat and reappearance.
