Captured in a specialist photography tank (and later released back into the wild), this adult Palaemonetes varians knows how to strike a pose for the camera. Its vibrant colors and intricate details make it a true underwater fashion icon. Living in the brackish waters of East Anglia, this prawn proves that even aquatic creatures can have serious swagger.
