Boxer of the Reef - Peacock Mantis Shrimp
C-PMS-001
"I remember watching this particular mantis shrimp for nearly 40 minutes before it finally emerged from its burrow. The moment it stepped into the open, it paused — almost like it was staring right at me — those wild eyes scanning me with curiosity or caution. I only had a split second to capture the shot before it retreated. That stillness before motion... that's what makes this image feel alive.”
