Finding Peacock Mantis Shrimp in Australia
Peacock Mantis Shrimps still occur in Australia, though specific park pins are still being curated. Use the Peacock Mantis Shrimp field guide for ID and biology, and the Australia expedition page for broader wildlife destinations.
Australia context: Koalas in the gum trees, kangaroos across the red centre, and wildlife found nowhere else on Earth.
When you are out looking, prioritise coral reef, reef rubble, and sandy burrows in Australia. That is where local sightings of this species are most often reported.
