EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Steve Jones showcases the stunning beauty of a yellow commensal shrimp on a crinoid in Cenderwasih Bay, West Papua. The image captures an undescribed species of commensal shrimp, most likely belonging to the Laomenes genus, as it gracefully perches on the crinoid's delicate feathery arms. The photograph highlights the fascinating symbiotic relationship between these two marine organisms. The commensal shrimp finds refuge and protection amidst the crinoid's branches, while benefiting from leftover food particles and potential prey attracted to its host. This intricate bond exemplifies nature's remarkable ability to create mutually beneficial partnerships. The vibrant yellow coloration of the shrimp serves as a camouflage against predators, blending seamlessly with its surroundings. Its vertical position atop the crinoid allows for optimal visibility and access to resources. Steve Jones' close-up shot provides an intimate view of this mesmerizing underwater scene without any human presence. The intricate patterns and details are beautifully captured, showcasing both scientific precision and artistic finesse. This photograph is not only visually striking but also serves as a testament to the incredible biodiversity found in tropical climates like West Papua. It reminds us of our planet's rich marine life and encourages us to appreciate and protect these fragile ecosystems.
