I taked this photo in bandarabbass, iran and as I said for last one it can make a loud noise so i searched internet for more detiles:
Though the blue whale produces the loudest noise of any individual animal in the sea or on land, the loudest natural noise of all is made by shrimps.
The noise of the collected shrimps amounts to an earsplitting 246 decibels, which even adjusting for the fact that sound travels five times faster in water, equates to about 160 decibels in air; considerably louder than a jet taking off (140 dB) or the human threshold of pain. Some observers have compared it to everyone in the world frying bacon at the same time.

This is an interesting macro of a ghost shrimp. Very good note, too, I did not know that about shrimp. No wonder we eat them! We have to stop that painful noise...
Good capture - you could have made him much larger for TL, but that would be an oxymoron - a large shrimp - hehe!
Have a great day!
