Chameleon shrimp — size comparison — facts and sources

Praunus flexuosus is a small crustacean of the order Mysida found in shallow temperate coastal waters. It has a slender, partly transparent body, thin abdomen and delicate swimming appendages. Long antennae sense its surroundings.

It takes algae, detritus—fragmented organic remains—and small animals. Varied food is found in coastal water and around the substrate. Its transparent outline is difficult to notice against moving water.
