Lysmata amboinensis
They are omnivorous scavengers, eating almost anything, but are most-well known for their symbiotic relationship with many fish. Together with them are Durban Dancing Cleaner Shrimps (Rhynchocinetes Durbanensis) ready to service the moray eel in the back.

Great!..will do next time, thanks same to you when you visit SA..on this side we only snorkel in the pool!..hehehe!
Sounds great! I would have loved to pop by (with my fishing rod, snorkle and fins), but heading up north to Sweden for holidays. Let me know next time you are going here, and also if you plan to do a pit-stop in Maputo!
(If your skin gets too dry on the way up to Inhambane, I have a pool, haha)
Hehe..and the ocean can be very gentle as well..flat and warm like a bath!..we are diving Inhambane week after, 24th..you are welcome!
Thank you Tiz!..a passion it is, and what a wonderful one, every dive a new one!
Well no, I prefer snorkelling :) A rough ocean is not really my element, I prefer the forrests and the small mountains. But I enjoy fishing "up here".
I am very impressed by your under water photos Chris!
Thank you Tiz!..you dive there in Moz??
This photo of your spotting is nothing but a masterpiece! WoW!
