Meet the dynamic duo - a pair of Coleman shrimps (Periclimenes colemani) taking up residence in their fiery abode, the Fire urchin (Asthenosoma varium). The larger shrimp, an elegant female, proudly flaunts her vibrant colors while perched atop the spiky surface of the urchin. With its intricate patterns and striking hues, it's like witnessing a living work of art! Located in Anilao, Batangas marine protected area within Luzon, Philippines' Verde Island Passages region - these waters are teeming with life from the Tropical West Pacific Ocean.
