Like an Angel ... FROM HELL!

just fantastic detail!

Skeleton Shrimp (Caprella sp.) were EVERYWHERE on the ostrich plume hydroids (Aglaophenia sp.), even out of the water. I was reading Between Pacific Tides the night before, and they mentioned Aglaophenia latirostris was a great habitat for pycnogonids, so I kept sifting and sifting through the hydroids (Minette, I even used my little net!), but alas, no sea spiders. Still, caprellids rock, so I was happy to find them instead.

I love caprellids! I used to work with fouling panels and they would literally coat any hydroid (mostly Obelia) that grew on them. There were always so many, you'd have to flick them off your fingers if you had to handle the panels. I likened them to sesame seeds, always getting everywhere. =)

This picture is awesome! Love the light coming through and the fact that you caught it fully extended. I think I hear angels singing?
