Somebody know this guy ?

I took this 2:1 pic during a night dive at Turks & Caicos 90 ft. deep.

Which specimen of shrimp is this ?

El buzo

I dont know what it is, but it is really cool. When I get back to the caribbean i'm going to keep an eye out for him.

Looks like Pseudopontonides principis which is only found on sea whips in the Caribbean. Great photo!

William william william william......how are you ever going to go back to the Caribbean after so long in the GBR/Coral Sea?!

Tis a nice capture, cool looking shrimp

Mike, I dont know how i'm going to cope with it, but like it or not, I AM going back on the 20th of this month.

Perhaps we can find you a nice little Aussie girl to marry?!

That was one of my goals for while I was here. Unfortunately my American fiancee didnt think it that great of an idea when I told her about it.

Women! Who can understand them?

Thanks Leslie

I saw some pics on the web of the Pseudopontonides principis and the body looks the same . Seems that they are capable of making dramatic changes in coloration.

I remember that this particular one was almost fluorescent .

Pseudopontonides principis is on pp. 180-181 in Humann's Florida/Caribbean/Bahamas "Reef Creature Identification," 2nd Edition. Looks like a good match.

Nice find and a beautiful photograph
