Imperial shrimp - Zenopontonia rex

A commensal shrimp with two distinct color forms is known as the Emperor shrimp and was recently renamed Zenopontonia rex. It is seen on sea cucumbers and on several nudibranch species but this finely speckled form seems to be primarily found on large Spanish Dancers, Hexabranchus sanguineus.
