Our friend @atsushisadaki found this beautiful Hymenocera picta, commonly known as the harlequin shrimp. They reach about 5 centimetres (2.0 in) in length, live in pairs and feed exclusively on starfish, but this one was around 10cm 😍😍😍 #scuba #PADI #scubadiving

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL #WHALESHARK DAY FOLKS! These animals are truly gobsmacking to witness but they’re at risk from boat injuries, pollution & other tourism impacts - be sure to do your research on the ethics and sustainability practises of tour-providers before booking on 🙏🏽
