A Starfish Shrimp
on a Pillow Star 2

Pillow Star is usually seen at Okinawa.
Let me show you a Starfish Shrimp on
a yellow Pillow star this time.

When we look it closely and carefully,
we usually discover more than one
Starfish Shrimp living cryptically on it
one of whose color is similar to the host,
others,transparent.

The transparent one is very hard to find
and moreover difficult to photograph.

This photo is no trimming,3:1 super
macro photographed.
