Isopod with a 5 O'clock shadow.

Here's a little Isopod that forgot to shave or wax itself in the morning.

Could have sworn I tracked it down a couple of months back when I first reviewed it back at home back

damned if I can find it again in any of my references. Believe it is commonly referred to as a Sea Mite and

it feeds on decaying algae.

Cheers,

Jim.

Hi Jim - Isopod yes. Looks like family Sphaeromatidae. For your part of the world Dr. Niel Bruce is the expert on sphaeromatids. He's at the Queensland Museum

Thanks Leslie I've sent an ID enquiry to him via the QM contact form.

Cheers,

Jim.
