Alex_Mustard 0 Posted May 29, 2013 My dive guide showed me these shrimps at Nudi Retreat. I am sure others have photographed them too. But I am struggling to ID them. Any help appreciated. They were pretty small. Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carl-Johan Nilsson 0 Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Here's mine from Romblon, it's color true so stripes is a bit more yellow/greenish than Alex's. On the same (perhaps) Tubastrea Coral too so probably the same species. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=801245639925350&set=a.799088933474354.1073741848.100001197658091&type=1&theater¬if_t=like Edited February 21, 2015 by Carl-Johan Nilsson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
