This shrimp is not very easy to spot, being quite small.
These are cleaner shrimps that clean the mouths and fins of larger fish, which spot them with its large antennae.
Parrotfish create a protective envelope around them when they are sleeping.
So, don't put the light on them during night dive to don't to wake them up and break this envelope.
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
Mammals have a horizontal tail.
Fishes have a vertical fin.
