Via Reef Divers: Spot a Coral, Spot a Shrimp

Great article over at Reef Divers about shrimp in bubble coral.  It goes back to what I’ve said before: don’t look for critters, look for the places where they live and eat.

The shrimp are transparent, so they make for a good photos.  I’ve seen them quite a few places.  When we were in Raja Ampat, I made a very strong effort to point them out to the other divers in the group so they could get some shots.  I’ve even seen shrimp on bubble coral right on the wrecks at 25m deep in Truk Lagoon.  Even though I was rigged for super-wide, I snapped them and if you magnify the photo, they’re there.

I didn’t have a good bubble shrimp handy on Instagram, so have a glassy one instead.  =)
