The Green-lined Hairy Shrimp might be a variation of the Common Hairy Shrimp (Phycocaris simulans), but we’ve decided to give it its own spot as it looks so unusual with the green lines all over its body and the very few hairs present. This is a rare type and we’ve only seen it a few times at our dive sites around Romblon Island.
