 That shrimp doesn't happen to be the tiny Emperor Shrimp, Periclimenes imperator?
-- I just noticed something. You have super powers. That is so cool. Can you fly? -Glorificus the Beast  Wow, how big is that sea star?
-- Check out my stock account for pictures of animals, plants, and exotic locations! ~meihua-stock  Incredible photo!
This shrimp belongs to the same genus, it's a Periclimenes soror
(...I pressed the wrong button...)
They are smaller than P. imperator and you always find them under starfishes, often with the same color. P. imperator lives on large nudibranchs (like the 'famous' Spanish dancer) or holothurians (sea cucumbers). It was about 30 cm wide. This starfish has the shape of a pentagon, without arms.
It's a rare starfish. I've seen it only twice. The first time I turned it up-side-down to look for commensal shrimps and I was very surprised by the beautiful colors of its underside.
I should have known it wasn't P. imperator, the eyes aren't the same, and the claws aren't purple.
-- I just noticed something. You have super powers. That is so cool. Can you fly? -Glorificus the Beast  Incredible colours, and nice composition... I love underwater photography!
