Donald Duck Shrimp

The Donald Duck Shrimp (Leander plumosus), also called Plume Shrimp is a small cleaner who attracts customers by waving its antennae around. Its beaklike snout aids in the cleaning of fish gills and mouths. However, the shrimp’s main source of food is small sea worms and larvae. This shrimp was found during a dive at Apo Island.
