Tiny Hairy Shrimp

Occurred on May 20, 2023 / Lembeh, Sulawesi, Indonesia

Info from Licensor: "This is a small shrimp, Phycocaris simulans, about 3mm. It is very small. It does not have much ability to swim, but it will leave the seaweed it is attached to. Very small and full of hairs, it begins to drift. As the diver moves, the movement of the seawater changes and the destination of the drifting changes. We stop moving when it starts to drift. Then we quietly watch to see where it drifts to and which seaweed it attaches to. If we lose sight of it, it is very hard to find..." Credit: Atsushi Sadaki
