Mystery critters on sponge at Aw Shucks

  1. So there's the first mystery critter that was sitting on a sponge at Aw Shucks in Lembeh

    It looks like a pink shrimp to me, but I got no further than that.

     

     

    The second mystery critter sat on the same sponge and according to Jandri was a sort of opisthobranch

  2. The shrimp is Gelastocaris paronae. The second one is a poser. From the picture alone my first guess is a highly camoflagued crab but I suspect your dive guide probably had a better view than me. :) obviously you'll just have to go back & try again!

  3. Thanks worm girl!

     

    Much appreciated!
