Thank you.

Malaysia is a wonderful country, with a fantastic tourist offer, that includes diving, jungle and a great cutural mixture.

We were less than a meter, an not were able to see the shrimp, until we did not review the photos. The shrimp appears in all the photos that we did; in the firts pictures it seems that it was cleaning of parasites to the crab, a very habitual symbiotic relation.
