penaeid prawn awaiting identification Family Penaeidae updated Oct 08 Where seen? This large green prawn is sometimes seen on some of our shores. In sandy, silty areas and near seagrasses. It is more active at night and usually seen alone. It is probably quite common but overlooked because it is so well camouflaged. Features: 5-8cm long. Body and tail plain green. |
