Patrick Preston II I found this shrimp on a wreck penetration at 30 meters depth. There were two individuals. This one was about 2 cm long, and the other was slightly smaller. In Coron, Philippines.

Albert Kang Tiger Shrimp, nice find.

Till Deuss Phyllognathia ceratophthalma

Patrick Preston II Thanks. I never really expect to see much life that far inside a wreck. I have lived in Coron for 5 years and this was my first time to spot one.
