Common Marble Shrimp

Saron marmoratus

Description:

Shrimp with a large, long, upward rostrum, and with typical hair tufts (cirri) starting from the rostrum and on the back. Other cirri tufts below the abdomen and on the claws.

Notes:

Found this upside down at a depth of about 7m. Couldn't coax it out of its hiding place.

Thanks lori.tas. Doesn't the cirri remind you of a baby bottle cleaner? :-)
