Sexy shrimp.

I think this shrimp has more local names than any other. I believe the official name in the creature id book is "squat anemone shrimp," but I have also heard them called "popcorn shrimp" because of the way they move. They seemed less associated with anemones than I typically see in the Caribbean.

In fact, seems like the Arlequin Shrimp, "Thor Amboinensis" I've seen it, in many different sizes in most warm waters of the World, from Madeira Islands in the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific... V
