Ancylomenes holthuisi - Holthuis' Anemone Shrimp

Ancylomenes Holthuisi - Anemone Shrimp

This small anemone shrimp has a transparent body with small red or purple dots. It lives in symbiosis with anemones, in my case with Magnificent and Bubble Tip Anemones. One should also pay attention to the rest of the fish stock, as it can be prey for larger fish.
