Although Indra Swari has a lot of excellent underwater images to choose from, today's This Is Why We Dive features one of her photos of a Periclimenes amboinensis, ak.a., a shrimp.

Photographed in Sulawesi, I love the detail in the shrimp's little...er, big!... pincers and body. He looks ready to put up a fight if you drift too close to his home. I'm also intrigued by the detail in the coral on which the creature is sitting. Finally, I think his white-ish body against the dark-ish background simply makes for a very pleasing image. Nice work, Indra.

If you have any images of animals with big pincers, please add them to Divester's Flickr pool. Just be careful of your fingers.
