DIDDY DECAPOD

Sexy shrimps – yes, that really is their common name – are olive brown with glossy white patches fringed in blue. They are just 13mm long and live in a symbiotic relationship with sea anemones, residing in and feeding on their mucus-covered tentacles.

TITANIC TURTLE

Weighing just shy of a tonne, the leatherback is the world’s largest turtle. It’s found throughout tropical and sub-tropical seas (and some individuals venture to the British coast from time to time), but if you want to see one, try Costa Rica.

Leatherbacks can travel 10,000km or more a year.
