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