Shrimp - Periclimenes cf galene

While looking close, a little unusual movement on a branch of hydroids caught my eye and a new Periclimenes shrimp was recorded for Kwaj. Mostly clear, very thin and less than 10mm in length, this species is perfectly adapted at blending in with the thin branches of this common hydroid.
