RemarksA tiny spotted cleaner shrimp climbs on a warty corallimorph, a type of anemone. Photographing this shrimp and corallimorph is my white whale: I've only ever found two of these in over three hundred dives on Grand Cayman. Getting a photo of the miniature 1/2 inch tall shrimp that lives in there is even harder. lit the shrimp with one strobe, and lit the background with my second strobe to provide backlighting.
