Another Hitchhiker - Shrimp

[ShaggyRS6]

So was trying to get another gorilla crab and came across a shrimp. I can’t get a good pic of it but all I can explain was it looked like an water wasp! It was eating algae. In the pick it’s in the pink putty. It has a see through body.

Coral banded? Peppermint?

Nope neither of those

Nope neither of those

It looks red and white in the picture that’s why I said that. Is that the colors? If not can you get a picture with whites?

Super cool find. I used to have a small group of Pedermans, and though they hid a lot it was really cool seeing them every so often. Kinda like getting something new without having to spend money

Funny looking things though.

Does it look like this?

 

[ShaggyRS6]

Yeah although slightly different colors

They are cleaner shrimp. Colors can vary some. Harmless. Fish turn darker to signal cleaning. Cool little guys.
