The host looks like an anemone, but it's not: it's called mushroom coral, and if you look carefully, you can usually find one or two of these tiny, transparent shrimp. Everybody calls them anemone shrimp. This one was less than an inch long, and seemed to be as interested in me as I was in him. All the time I was photographing him, he kept moving his front pinchers back and forth as if he were clapping. Nikon F4, 105mm f/2.8 AF Micro-Nikkor @ 1:1, Aquatica Housing, 2 Ikelite AI/n strobes, f/45, Kodak Royal Gold 100.
