This video covers various types of decapod in the subphylum of Crustacea.
First we encounter 3 of the most common types of spiny lobster (
Palinuridae) found in the
Andaman Sea, the painted spiny lobster,
Panulirus versicolor, at
East of Eden in the
Similan Islands in
Thailand, the rare ornate spiny lobster,
Panulirus ornatus, at
Black Rock in the
Mergui Archipelago in
Burma (
Myanmar), and the longlegged spiny lobster,
Panulirus longipes, which line the walls of the underwater cave at
Western Rocky Island.
We then look at shrimps, another type of decapods. We encounter rock cleaner shrimps, Urocaridella sp., inhabiting the underwater caves at
Richelieu Rock, the
Durban hinge-beak shrimp (Durban dancing shrimp),
Rhynchocinetes durbanensis, which are common at many site throughout the Andaman Sea, and thirdly the banded coral shrimp,
Stenopus hispidus, also known as the "banded boxer shrimp".
Finally we meet a small and feisty swimming crab, Portunus sp., in open water in the Mergui Archipelago.
