Speckled Shrimpfish

Found in small schools, swimming head down, for protection in the arms of branching corals, and long-spined sea urchins, over sandy reef flats and seagrass beds, of coral and rocky reefs.

Shrimpfishes swim in groups with head down swimming in a synchronised fashion (when one turns they all turn) often sheltering in rich coral patches, in fan and whip coral and sea grass beds.
