21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Three Amigos
Photographed underwater. These are a very tiny shrimp that can be found living in clans around the base of sand anemones. By the name of Thor amboinensis, a Squat Shrimp, some call them Sexy Shrimp because they are constantly wiggling their cute little tails. They usually hop-scotch over each other, looking like they are playing king of the hill or something. They never, ever line up..But that was the shot I was hoping for... so I waited and waited.
