The crab at 1:08 is not Allogalathea, it's a true crab, Tetralia sp perhaps (see claw and face shape)
At 7:03 not sure, something fast moving like mysids? But 8:27 looks like an isopod so who knows what might hang around those corals
Overall, wow!

Using chemical cues for navigation is not something I would expect from a 1 mm long crustacean. That's a pretty impressive level of sophistication.

Unlike Euphausiids, mysid gills are often compact and hidden beneath the carapace. Mysids are also easily distinguished by the presence of a pair of statocysts on the endopods of the tail fan🤘✌️👌

Winter is a quieter time in the water. It was a sunny weekend though and the water at Flinders Pier was cool and clear.
There aren't many Weedy Seadragons around at the moment, but this relaxed sub-adult was cruising around, snapping at mysids.

Folks I think we have confirmed that those shrimps are mysids. The brood pouch is brood pouching

This Pacific Seahorse are the largest of their species which can reach up to 14in long. They feed on organisms such as mysids small crustaceans and other plankton. Camouflage helps the seahorse avoid predators such as crabs sea urchins rays fish. They have a life span of 3-5 years.

Mysids have started producing offspring so we won't have to buy as many ohhhhhyeahhhh #SquidRoomWin #ReadyToRaiseSquid #Husbandry

they look like mysids, aka "opossum shrimp" to me.

Like many conferences, Cephalopod Neuroscience has corporate sponsors. When I read this sentence in the schedule, I couldn't help imagining...
I'm attending remotely, so I have no evidence that it's NOT true. 😉🐙🦑🦐☕

“The ocean is vast and it might seem easy to get lost if you are a creature just 1 millimeter long. However, tiny shrimplike crustaceans called mysids are able to use their sense of smell to find their way back to the deep underwater caves they call home…”

Have you listened to this week's episode of the Fisheries Podcast yet? Alanna speaks with UMassD SMAST PhD student Sierra Wachala about all things planktonic, from larval shrimp in South Carolina to mysids in Wisconsin and larval lobster in Massachusetts!

Hmm, what about the burglar alarm? Dinoflagellate luminescence (sparked 😉 by mysids) = predation of mysids by my fav fish, Porichthys

Non-indigenous mysids in the North Sea Canal, where a large number of non-native species have been detected. Shipping has facilitated the transport of many of these, including the two newly reported mysids described herein. Open access 👇 buff.ly/gvEyUsJ #INVASIVESNET #AI

that’s a tanaid! they’re in with the isopods and mysids but very much their own weird little “minor” order
