Ron Silver OK. I'll make you a similar offer since I'm a spotter, not a shooter.....You shoot 'em and I'll try to name 'em. With my dive buddies, it's I find 'em, you shoot 'em. :-D

Julie Sy Harlequin Shrimp (Hymenocera picta) is also known as Clown Shrimp.

Ron Silver Julie, this is a Squat Shrimp, Thor amboinensis. Here's a photo of a Harlequin Shrimp, Hymenocera picta: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=497+525+749&pcatid=749

Vicky Ruiz de Somocurcio Maravillas de la naturaleza.

Dani Barchana Thank youJulie Sy, but Ron Silver is right , this is Thor emboiensis ! I was just having fun with all the common names, sorry.

Suus Berger Its a Squat shrimp ( Thor Amboinensis ) 2006 Red Sea, Strait of Tiran, Egypt. I have always wondered what this " green grasshopper " was in the back!

Arne Kuilman I've seen something similar on the same coral with a squat shrimp next to it as well!

Arne Kuilman See this photo for shrimp: http://www.flickr.com/photos/arne/8591576261/in/set-72157632917474621 Difficult to identify.

Vie Panyarachun Could it be Coralliocaris graminea..?

Arne Kuilman Sometimes it helps to see more or different photos. Are there more?

Suus Berger Thanks both for trying to help. I wish more photos, just one, I notice this creature only later on computer screen.

Will Clark I'd like to offer a massive 'thank you' to Dan Baldocchi, Adam Hanlon, and Dr Alex Mustard for an amazing Wetpixel macro trip to Lembeh Resort. I can't congratulate the whole team enough for what a good time I had and how much I learned - more even in the first two days than I'd worked out for myself in the preceding couple of years. Top marks for the choice of resort too: just excellent. Here's one of my photos from the trip, full of techniques learned from Alex Mustard's careful and thoughtful educational program. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1424124944467542&set=a.1398373113709392.1073741828.1398367457043291&type=1&theater

Aki Ihalainen That is a winner shot!

Will Clark Not against your hairy backlit snooter it isn't!

Aki Ihalainen Yes, that is what I am putting in, nothing else... Or...

Ron Silver Once again, shows one of the problems with common names. This is a Magnificent Anemone Shrimp, Ancylomenes magnificus, which may occasionally adopt a 'tail in the sky' posture. However, it is the Squat Shrimp, Thor amboinensis which typically hold their tails vertically and vigorously wiggling it earning them the title of 'sexy shrimp'.

Sue Hutchings I love you, Ron Silver, and admire such vast knowledge! fabulous photo too Will!

Will Clark Oops.

Will Clark Corrected, thanks Ron Silver

Ernst Andres I'm not perfect, but I think you can see the nursery :-) Egypt - Safaga - Cassous Bay - Coral Garden

Donna Schwarz-Nielsen How cute! What are they?

Ernst Andres Hi hi hi hi.....<3 Baby shrimps <3

Ron Silver Appear to be Squat Shrimp, Thor Amboinensis with a Tube Anemone, Cerianthus sp.

Ernst Andres I can not swear to it, but I think there are babies of clown shrimp.

Ron Silver Shows the problem with common names - I'm pretty sure we're talking about the same species of shrimp. Also known as Sexy Shrimp! :-D

Ernst Andres Thank you my friend Ron :-) :-) :-)
