Can you see me? This tiny shrimps, Hippolyte sp usually found on Halimeda algae are very tiny. This one was lest than 1 cm in size and takes the colour of the host Halimeda perfectly.  Only the tiny white spots/lines/patches on the legs, head and eyes gives it away.  This species is still yet to be described.
