Today’s photo is a hairy shrimp from Bali. The shot was taken at the Liberty wreck in Tulamben.

The story behind the shot: Ylfa and I where diving with Wayan, our guide, at the Liberty wreck. Suddenly, Wayan kept pointing at something. I really tried hard to see something, but couldn’t figure out what he was trying to point at. Only when the shrimp moved slightly, I caught the movement and realized that it was a shrimp.

It turned out that ‘our’ shrimp was a really ‘big’ one, since it was pregnant. You can see its eggs  shine through on the macro shot.

To give you an impression of context and size, I thought the second photo might be helpful. Enjoy!
