Goby & Shrimp

Finally managed to capture a picture of the tiny (Imperial?) shrimp that forms a symbiosis with the pin-starcushion. This little bugger is hard to spot as it usually scampers around in speeds that seems impossible for its tiny legs. How tiny? No more than 5mm length... maybe smaller. I don't know cuz I was too busy trying to take the photo and didn't carry a measuring tape.

This picture was shot during a night dive. Either the light or the fact that it was night made it stay in place long enough for me to take pictures that I think would be near impossible to take during the day. Bonus that I caught on pic a goby as well.
