Banded coral shrimp

The banded coral shrimp is about 1.5 to 2 inches long.  We often see them waving their antennae from underneath ledges or recesses in the reef.  They are cleaner shrimp, and attract fish to clean, with this slow waving.




In the photo below, a shrimp is actually cleaning the mid-section of a spotted moray eel.
