EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a side view of the Squat Anemone Shrimp, taken in Gorontalo, Sulawesi, Indonesia. The intricate details of this arthropod are beautifully captured by photographer Steve Jones. The image reveals the vibrant colors and unique features of this crustacean species known as Thor amboinensis. With its humpback shape and small size, it gracefully blends into its surroundings in the Indo Pacific Ocean. In this shot, we witness the shrimp's symbiotic relationship with an anemone polyp. This commensalism allows both creatures to thrive as they rely on each other for protection and food sources. The brown spotted body of the squat shrimp is highlighted against the backdrop of the sea's mesmerizing blue hues. Its close-up perspective offers a glimpse into nature's wonders beneath the waves. As one animal among many thriving in their natural habitat, this photograph reminds us of our planet's diverse wildlife and delicate ecosystems that need our protection. Steve Jones' skillful underwater photography transports us to Southeast Asia's enchanting waters while emphasizing conservation efforts necessary to preserve these incredible species for generations to come.
