Variable-foot cleaner shrimp [Periclimenes diversipes]
Description
This species is frequently found in reef environments, where it uses its small size to slip into tight spaces around corals and other invertebrates. Divers might notice it during slow swims—watch for subtle movements as it searches for food, then a sudden dash back to cover.
