The cleaner shrimp in the white antennae canvas
Lysmata amboinensis occurs in the Indo-Pacific region, including the Red Sea. A light stripe runs along its back between red bands, and the tail has white patches. It lives around coral reefs, including caves and rocky ledges. The long pale feelers extend well beyond its narrow body.
Its common name refers to feeding on parasites and dead tissue removed from fish. The Aquarium of the Pacific’s cleaner shrimp account describes its coloring, habitat and cleaning stations. This photograph shows the shrimp alone, allowing you to examine its form without another animal occupying the frame.
A close view from the Red Sea
Cobi Hay Yacobi photographed this scene on January 16, 2015, according to the camera date, and edited the image himself. The white antennae cross the frame in several directions. Amber legs make shorter, angular lines below, while the dark foreground reef provides contrast for the body.
Some background areas are pale and others almost black, but their edges remain soft. Against that backdrop, the feelers are the clearest long lines in the composition. Look from the central body toward the edges of the image to see how much of the photograph their spread occupies.
Cleaner shrimp canvas construction
The photograph comes on canvas stretched over a wooden frame, ready to hang. The canvas depth is 0.75 in. A decorative outer frame is not included, so the image can stand on its own with a simple edge. If you prefer an outer frame alongside other pictures, allow for its added width and height when planning the display.

For the white antennae photograph, consider both the width of the wall and how closely you will view the print. A paper template helps you compare sizes above furniture. Keep tall objects clear of the lower edge. The image crop may vary slightly between sizes.
Fine lines beside simple furnishings
The small canvas mock-up shows a bathroom, the medium a Japanese-style room and the large a minimalist living room. Their uncluttered settings offer ways to display the white antennae and small body without nearby objects interrupting the view. A dry home office or sitting room can provide a similar setting.
Compare the canvas dimensions with your furniture, leaving enough open wall around the print to see its full outline.
The same shrimp species beside a moray
Our yellowmouth moray and cleaner shrimp canvas includes the same shrimp species in a different photograph. Here, the white antennae belong to the sole featured animal, shown close up. Read Coral Reef Partnerships for more about relationships between reef animals, or compare the two prints before deciding whether to hang one or both.
A cleaner shrimp print for a thoughtful wall grouping
A cleaner shrimp canvas can anchor a group built around close observation. Start with the role you want it to play: a picture you study at a desk, or a small part of a larger collection. That decision helps you choose companions with enough difference to make each photograph worth looking at individually.
For a wall of marine photographs, compare the amount of background around each subject. A dense reef scene beside this cleaner shrimp can create contrast, while another image with open space can give the group a quieter rhythm. Keep the gap between pictures consistent and line up either their centers or their top edges, depending on the furniture below.
On a mixed wall, try it beside a simple drawing or a personal travel photograph. Pull one accent from the image into an object nearby, then let the rest of the room stay as it is. You do not need to turn the entire space into a coastal theme to make an underwater photograph feel at home.
As a gift, a cleaner shrimp photograph suits someone who enjoys finding the little animal everyone else passed by. Think about the recipient’s actual wall and interests together. A modest display chosen for a place they use every day can be more personal than selecting the largest size automatically.
