Stenopus spinosus
Stenopus spinosus is a shrimp-like decapod crustacean belonging to the infraorder Stenopodidea.
From the article Stenopus spinosus on Wikipedia (CC BY-SA), quoted section by section
Description
Stenopus spinosus can grow up to 8 centimetres (3.1 in) long, and is chiefly yellow, with white antennae and white tips to the chelae (claws). The uropods and telson have red tips.
Range & habitat
Stenopus spinosus is commonly found in shallow waters in the Mediterranean Sea, and at greater depths in adjacent parts of the Atlantic Ocean. It is frequently encountered on night dives in parts of its range. A record of S. spinosus from the Red Sea proved to be a different species, Engystenopus spinulatus.
