Shrimps

Shrimps and prawns have long flexible abdomens that ends in a fan-like tail. Some have large eyes and antennae that are much longer than their bodies. This particular shrimp is often found buried in the sand with only its eyes and antennae sticking out.

The shrimps on Chek Jawa are usually less than 5cm long.
