Juvenile Simplex Shrimp - Phyllognathia simplex This was a very tiny juvenile, around 5 mm in size, moving around the sandy bottom and it was hardly possible to take a decent picture of it as its colours is so well camouflaged with its surrounding.  I placed it in my palm to get a better contrast for this picture. Anilao,Batangas,Geotagged,Philippines,Phyllognathia simplex,Shirmp,Simplex Shrimp,Winter Click/tap to enlarge
