EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Mathieu Meur showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the underwater world in Manokwari, West Papua, Indonesia. In this image, a bumblebee shrimp can be seen cleverly hiding on a basket star, creating a stunning display of camouflage. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the crinoid and macro reef come to life in this horizontal composition. The bumblebee shrimp, belonging to the malacostraca decapoda family, is captured in extreme close-up detail against a striking black background. As we delve into the depths of the Indo Pacific Ocean through this photograph, we are reminded of the incredible diversity that exists within our planet's marine ecosystems. The slender brittle stars known as basket stars or ophiuroids gracefully intertwine with their surroundings.

Through its expert camouflage techniques, this small crustacean manages to blend seamlessly with its environment.
