Deep-sea shrimp. UL shows full color image. The other three panels show howthe shrimp appears under blue, green, and red light. Unlike what was seen atshallower depths, this animal is not most camouflaged at natural bluewavelengths. Instead it actually blends with the background best at red wavelengths, suggesting that camouflage is less important at deeper, dimmer depths.
