Yes, @Gilma, very hard to see if you are not familiar with what you are looking at :D
Thanks :)
WOW!! So hard to see, and so small, beautiful spotting, AlbertKang.
Thanks, @Leuba, @Marta and @ashutosh :)
The dive guide at Romblon is very good and she knows where all the cool critters lives :D
This cryptic shrimp, lives exclusively on the sponge and not likely to move to another sponge unless disturbed badly. So, once you know its there, its just a matter of going back to the same host/house to look for it again :)
Woww its invisible..
Wow! How did you see it?? amazing!
Fantastic ! thanks for sharing (photo & information) with us, Albert.
