Awww, thanks guys! The really hard part was that it was taken without a macro lens. Of course, thanks have got to go to Zcatzmeow for letting me photograph her (obviously, from the response) photogenic harlequin shrimp mated pair.

For those interested in the photographic geekiness part:
The camera used was a Canon EOS 20D with an 18-55mm Image Stabilized f4.0-5.6 lens (the current Canon kit lens).
Camera set to Program mode, f5.6, shutter speed 1/60, exposure bias set to 0ev, ISO 3200 to compensate for lack of available light without need for flash and to eliminate as much blur as possible from the constant movement of the shrimp, focal length set to 55mm. The image was imported from the camera using Apple Aperture ver. 1.5.6 on a 24" iMac, with no digital post processing or image correction at all.
