The Snowflake Hairy Shrimp (Phycocaris sp.) is a rare type of hairy shrimp and might be a new species. It is rather fluffy than hairy. It is almost all white like the common hairy shrimp, but the hairs around the eyes are red and it also has some distinct red markings and lines on the body. It is a beautiful and popular photo subject for underwater macro photographers coming to our resort.
