Palaemonid prawn fish quay 210907 1119 smg
The beautiful anemone prawn, Periclimenes sagittifer, is usually found subtidally in Channel Island waters. The individual in this photograph was found intertidally in Belle Greve Bay on the 20 March 2007. I found it on a grey snakelocks anemone, Anemonia viridis, under a boulder in a shallow tide pool. For photography I placed it on a green snakelocks anemone. These shrimp have a commensal relationship with these sea anemones. They seem to be quite common subtidally but this is the first specimen I have seen intertidally. Another image of this individual is in the 'Guernsey crustacea' gallery in the 'Nature' category. Many more images of this specimen are on file including close-up images. File No. BG 200307 19-891 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net

A palaemonid prawn hides under a ledge in a rock pool in Belle Greve Bay. The tip of the rostrum of this prawn is missing. Palaemonid shrimp or prawns (the names are interchangable) are abundant in Belle Greve Bay. They seem to co-exist very well with the numerous intertidal fish species in the bay. They are good scavengers cleaning up after others. Photographed on 4 February 2007. File No. 040207 6045 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
