EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of a Hinge beak shrimp (Hinge beak prawn) as it emerges from its hiding place to feed at night. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this marine creature are brought to life in this stunning image, taken by Louise Murray on Matangi Island, Vanua Levu, Fiji. The Hinge beak shrimp, scientifically known as Rhynchocinetes sp. , is a fascinating species found in the Pacific Ocean. Its unique name comes from its distinctively shaped mouthparts that resemble a hinge. This nocturnal creature prefers to come out under the cover of darkness to search for food. In this photograph, we see the shrimp's delicate feelers and legs extending gracefully into the foreground. The focus on its front view allows us to appreciate every minute detail, including its striking eye that seems almost otherworldly. As an arthropod belonging to the crustacean family, this small but mighty creature adds vibrancy and diversity to our underwater ecosystems. Its presence reminds us of the incredible variety of animal life that exists beneath the surface of our oceans. Louise Murray's skillful photography not only showcases nature's wonders but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect these fragile habitats for future generations.
