Armored shrimp
※Off display.

It is extremely difficult to catch live specimens and its ecology is poorly known. Its abdomen and tail can lock together in an S shape (see second image). This is thought to defend it from predators by making it less easy for them to be swallowed.

Scientific name Glyphocrangon hastacauda
English name Armored shrimp
