PART 1 | POLL 2

SHRIMP TOURNAMENT!!!

(make sure to read info on both contenders before voting! some information may be hidden under "read more"!!)

MAGNIFICENT ANEMONE SHRIMP (Ancylomenes magnificus)

AKA: N/A

like many cleaner shrimp, magnificent anemone shrimp are well known for their symbiotic relationship with other sea animals such as sponges, mollusks, fish, and others of the like! on top of that, they also rely on other organisms to live safely due to being quite vulnerable, and are often found residing within sea anemones and stony corals, making the symbiotic relationships come full circle. another unique feature of this shrimp is their patterning- their bodies being mostly transparent, yet contrasted with opaque white stripes and patterns, giving these shrimps quite the interesting appearance!

-

HARLEQUIN SHRIMP (Hymenocera picta)

AKA: N/A

these bizarre shrimp are well known for their alien, nearly plant-like appearance, making them one of the most visually unique shrimp species out there! depending on where they're from, harlequin shrimp may have different color spots, which can range from all sorts of reds, blues, and purples. these fierce little guys mainly feast on starfish, and many will travel in pairs to ambush and gang up on their prey. they are masters at flipping over these starfish and do so with ease to gain access to their soft tissues. they'll also (begrudgingly) go for sea urchins if there's no available starfish in the area.

This Sarasvati Anemone shrimp (Ancylomenes sarasvati), is s common sight at our dive sites. And still it was only in 2002 before it got its official name. It is a tiny shrimp of 1.5 to 2 cm long and transparent. You find them on corals and anemones. It is also a cleaner shrimp, which means that it cleans the organism it is living on from parasites and helps it to stay healthy. #lumbalumbadivingmanado #bunaken #northsulawesi #manado #diveindonesia #diveholiday #snorkeling #cleanershrimp #commensalshrimp #duiken #tauchen #scuba #savetheplanet #dyk #plongee #diving #uwphotography #housereef #shrimps (at Lumbalumba Diving - Manado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMOATbjBhIa/?igshid=1clpxqdtdruch
