Dragon Shrimp
Miropandalus hardingi
Yet another shrimp that i didn’t know existed, but exists in Lembeh!!
These are another crustacaen that live on a whip coral. They are usually green with yellow-tipped spikes on their backs.
These two are a very unusal red colour. The big one is about 2.5cm long, and these were the first ones I have seen.
I really like the shape of these and they have quickly become one of my favourite critters.

We have this shrimp also in Maluku. We can see in the daytime.
It’s a great shrimp! This was shot during the day. I always use lights.
