This one is tiny: the head is half the size of your little finger nail, and the anemone tendrils are thinner than your little finger. I am really proud of this one. Underwater macro photographers often chase very tiny things and then try to fill the frame with them, so if we succeed, no one can tell just how impressive the accomplishment is. Besides being small, shrimp often have the additional challenge of being almost transparent. I found the white head first, and only then noticed the body, legs, and claws.

How do you find things like this? Mostly it is knowing where things might be, and looking carefully there. For example, anemones are prime real estate for several kinds of animals, because the stinging anemone makes it hard for the predators to get to the animals hidden in them.

And sometimes I don't notice things until I look at the photo. For example, I think there might be a second one: there are some legs in the upper right that look like they could belong to a second shrimp hiding behind the tendril.
