Crinoid Shrimp/Feather star shrimp

Hippolyte catagrapha

Description:

These tiny shrimp live on feather stars and seem to always blend in perfectly. This one was slightly transparent and a yellowish-green colour, just like its host feather star. Very difficult to photograph, you need to wait patiently for the "feathers" to move out of the way in order to get a good shot.

Habitat:

Coral Reef. Feather Star. Took this picture at Twin Rocks.
