Hamopontonia corallicola
Very pretty commensal shrimp,very well camouflaged.
Always found in mushroom corals.
Apparently it's not always found in mushroom coral, because the coral shown in these pictures is not a mushroom coral species. I've also seen pictures of H. corallicola on similar-looking coral species.
Truly amazing!
Wonderful !
WoW Very Nice...
Looks like an Underwater flower bed!
