Discover the fascinating world of Alpheidae, or snapping shrimp, as they go about their daily business in various underwater habitats. From the vibrant reefs of North Sulawesi, Indonesia, where tiny Synalpheus sp. Peek out from the protective cover of sea squirts (Didemnum molle), to the orange-hued snapping shrimp found in coconut shells, and the striped ones clinging to yellow crinoids. In the rockpools of Kimmeridge, Dorset, England, the hooded shrimp (Athanas nitescens) can be spotted, while the adult female of the same species guards her eggs on a reef at night in Seraya, Bali. With their powerful claws capable of producing a snap that creates a shockwave, these shrimp are not only visually stunning but also masters of their environment (UW INDO 2034 15, UW INDO 2034 14, UW INDO 2027 05, UW INDO 1902 19).
