    Default Spot the two shrimps in the picture

    I guess my reclusive Sarong shrimp got over his shyness and decided to strike a pose on a rock.
    The peppermint shrimp to the left looks like he is waiting for his turn to have his photo taken.

    I cannot get a better focus on the shot. The tiny hairs on the sarong shrimp's body undulates continuously (motion camouflage) and is messing up with the camera's auto focus.

    Wow, this is a master of camouflage, would love to see the whole tank.

    Oh and here's the easy version of John's game, spot my shrimp in this (poor quality) picture ...

    Cute red shrimp, LL.

    Smile Blue lobster

    I love shrimps! They are very cute and skiddish; I like seeing them at the pet stores. Actually, the pet store over here sometimes has these "blue lobsters" in the aquatic tank, ever seen those? They are really cool. I have a pic of them - sorry for the bad quality, it took this pic with my cellphone.

    I had seen those blue lobsters before, they are beautiful... what kept me from getting one is that I hear they are extremely aggressive and would attack their tankmates.
