An anemone shrimp (I think Ancylomenes holthuisi) dances on the tentacles of a tube anemone, Anilao #MarineLife #Invertebrates 🌿

A shrimp on the outer tentacles of a tube anemone. The anemone's tentacles are relatively thin, smooth and brown; the visible portion of the tube it lives in is also brown. The shrimp has an almost completely translucent body; its claws have white and purple bands on them, its eyes are white and it has reddish-brown and white patches on its tail, mid-back and belly. #Macro #UnderwaterPhotography #Wildlife #Nature #WildlifePhotography #NaturePhotography

With fronds like these, who needs anemones?

Definitely worth the trip. No big stuff, but a ton of little things
