Shrimp - Neostylodactylus litoralis This Shrimp - Neostylodactylus litoralis is a very small in size, around 8-10 mm and since they hunch/curl up their tail upward, they actually look smaller.  They are also very cryptic, with algae and tiny sands on their body for camouflage.

  1. Tell me where it begins and ends :) Posted 8 years ago
    1. Can you see the legs? 2 front legs are held up on the left, with algae growing on it.
      The tail is on the right, towards the top.
      The body is brown, curled like a U-shape.
      The eyes is the tiny brown circle/dot.
      Hope that helps :p
