Caught a glimpse of this beautiful berried lady in the tank at work. I don’t know my marine shrimp that well, but I think this is a common prawn.

I persuaded my aunt and mother to take me to the seaside again, this time when the tide was actually out. I’ve never been ‘Rock pooling’ before, so this was quite a little adventure. My aunt and mum sat a distance away and I went climbing over the rocks. I made some little friends along the way.

Members of the family Palaemonidae have a carapace that extends forward to form a rostrum, which may have toothed edges. Most species are colorless and transparent. They use their claws to pluck food from the ground or suspended in the water. Pictured is the common prawn (Palaemon serratus), which has very long antennae, up to one and a half times longer than its body, that warn it of the presence of predators. However, these antennae are basically useless against their most common predator, humans.
