Thor spinosus [Thor spinosus]
Description
This spiny-looking shrimp is a subtle find for recreational divers, usually seen perched on or near hard surfaces. It tends to remain near protective cover, using its posture and texture to blend in while it scans for food. If you slow down and hover, you may catch it shifting position or making brief, precise movements.
