From the Pederson cleaner shrimp found in Cienaga de Zapata National Park to the Commensal emperor shrimp hitching a ride on a Nudibranch, these shrimps have mastered the art of symbiosis. One such example is the Anemone prawn perched gracefully on Snakelocks anemone off the coast of Jersey. Its vibrant colors perfectly complementing its host's tentacles create a mesmerizing sight for any underwater enthusiast.
