I was told once before what this shrimp like creature was but can't remeber what it was. It is about 1MM insize or slighly less than a pin head, it lives in this Solitary Gorgonian Hydroid. Does anyone know?

Yes, it's an amphipod which might be both commensal and undescribed. I passed around copies of Alex's earlier posted images to various 'pod and hydroid experts and not one of them knew about the association. Every single one of them suggested that a few specimens would be extremely helpful!

Thanks that's the thread I was looking for, I showed them to Alex last time he was here but I didn't have the magnification to shoot one then, found another today and did.

That's a very clear shot, Patrick!
Awesome.

Yes, great shot. What were you using to get that amount of magnification?

My guess is that it is a 100% crop from a shot taken at 1:1
Gotta love what you can do with 12MP...

William your always so right. Yes dave it's a 100% crop, it would print a 8x10 but that's it, I have an idea to get even closer and much sharper, I'll be sure to post it when I get it. Oh I used the 105mm and a + 3 closeup lens.
