Jack’s April Photo: Wire Coral Shrimp – Bali, Indonesia

Conservation Photography, Issue 36 - April 2018

Wire Coral Shrimp – Photo taken in Bali, Indonesia

Also known as the Carid shrimps, they are found worldwide in almost every habitat, from sea water to fresh water and can be found all over the reef. They are generally respected by other creatures, often sharing burrows and holes and working as housekeepers. They will wave their antennae around to attract customers, they then proceed to clean outside and inside the creatures mouths, gills etc,.
