Description
Often discovered by shallow water divers, the rockpool shrimp searches the sea floor for decayed vegetation and dead mussels. A perfect housekeeper, the rockpool shrimp will clean off other fish, removing parasites and other debris. They have also been known to nip at the feet of beach goers who extend their feet into the rock pool.
