EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment in the underwater world of North Sulawesi, Indonesia. In this image, an Emperor commensal shrimp gracefully rides on the back of a Ceratosoma gracillimum T-bar nudibranch. The Lembeh Strait provides the perfect backdrop for this enchanting scene. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns of these two animals create a stunning visual display. The Emperor commensal shrimp, scientifically known as Periclimenes imperator, showcases its regal beauty as it clings to the nudibranch's back. This unique relationship between the two species is known as commensalism, where one benefits while the other remains unaffected. As we gaze upon this overhead view, we are reminded of nature's incredible diversity and interconnectedness. Both creatures belong to different taxonomic groups - one being an arthropod crustacean and the other a gastropod mollusk - yet they find harmony in their coexistence beneath the sea. Mathieu Meur's exceptional photography skills bring out every detail in this image, allowing us to appreciate both the small wonders of marine life and Southeast Asia's rich biodiversity. With no people present in this natural setting, we are transported into a world untouched by human interference. Whether you're an avid nature enthusiast or simply captivated by beautiful imagery, this print serves as a reminder that our planet holds countless hidden treasures waiting to be discovered below its shimmering surface.
