The Pedersen Cleaner Shrimp has a transparent body and legs that are covered with purple to lavender spots and two long, white, hair-like antennae.

They live in association with a variety of different anemone… you can see Corkscrew Anemone in the background of this pixture.

They are one of the cleaner shrimp… and will sway their bodies and wave those long antennae to attract customers. 

In fact, if a diver is gentle in their approach with a bare hand extended… these shrimp may swim out and attempt to clean fingers.
