Found this little one at the Blue Heron Bridge today.
The Sexy Shrimp is also commonly known as the High Tailed Shrimp, Anemone Shrimp and Squat Shrimp. It is also referred to as the Dancing Shrimp due to the way it moves its body. They move by walking slowly across the sea floor but when fleeing from a predator, they swim backwards quickly by curling and uncurling their abdomen. This is known as the caridoid escape reaction.
