Spotted cleaner shrimp are very small (3/4 - 1 inch), but their transparent bodies, tan and white body markings, and especially their long and colorful antennae make them beautiful sea creatures. They live and hide in anemone, and it's hard to capture a good clean and clear shot of them on the usually swaying anemone.
