Small shrimp on a whip coral underwater

We were doing macro photography underwater in Tulamben, Bali. This photo shows a tiny shrimp about 1/2" long, resting on a whip coral. Colored lights were used to highlight the whip coral, and a snoot (separate light source) helped illuminate the shrimp itself.
