What in Neptune's World?

Postby liquid » November 14th, 2005, 11:27 pm

In this month's Advanced Aquarist's Online Magazine, we have a mystery critter seeking identification. Can you guess what it is?

The blue sea squirt appears to Ropalaea spp. The smaller white squirts could be juvenile Ropalaea or could also be Clavelina. I suspect the big one is Polycarpa aurata. The crab might be Charybdis spp.

Hello with all,

I agree with "inwall75" except for crab, I think of "Trapézia sp." near to Trapézia rufopunctata
:wink:
