Good question. I was guessing about two to three years, but I Googled it, and the result was six to seven. That's more than double the average for shrimp. 😎

Thanks, Mairead. ☺️🙏

Thanks, DeBarra. I'm glad you like it. ☺️

I loved watching the BBC's Blue Planet. That was an amazing series. ☺️

Yes, their behavior is intriguing. I once found a starfish on the reef and brought it to a mating pair. They accepted it quickly. 🥰

Harlequin Shrimp form long-lasting, monogamous relationships and devote themselves to one mate for life. Their diet consists primarily of starfish.

Thanks, Jean. I love island-hopping in the Philippines. There's really good scuba diving.

Morning, Paula. 🌞

Good morning, Bluesky. 🌞
I was taking a photo of the sunrise on Malapascua Island, in the Philippines. I turned around, and the sun, low on the horizon, created a rainbow. I included the old wreck.
