Macro Portrait of a tiny Comensal Shrimp, just a few cm long. It is a subespecies called Sarasvati Comensal Shrimp (Periclimenes sarasvati). I like this image particularly, due to two reasons: the great contrast of colours between the beige anemone tentacles and the purple shrimp... and the good depth of field, that shows great detail, particularly through the shrimp's translucent body. Also, it is an uncommon species of shrimp, but I am not sure whether or not documental value is a factor taken into account for FPCs.
