Scuba divers are an adventurous bunch, willing to strap on tanks of compressed air and slip beneath the waves to explore a world that few have the privilege of seeing. It is a world of indescribable beauty and strange sights. Animals of all kinds live among the corals and most are completely unlike anything found above the surface. Scuba divers in Papua New Guinea had come across what appeared to be an inverted anemone, a venomous creature that looks like a plant. It uses its sting to paralyze and then eat small creatures and fish. But closer inspection of the anemone revealed something even more fascinating. There was a small, transparent shrimp crawling across the anemone. Impervious to the venom, the shrimp was able to walk on the surface without being harmed. Amazingly, this tiny shrimp had luminescent patches of bright yellow on its shell.
