Sponge shrimp - Gelatocaris paronae

When I was reminded that the thin ear sponge shown in my previous set of photos was often host to several species of shrimp, I examined one closer on this day only to find several of these wonderfully lacy shrimp, Gelastocaris paronae. This was the largest of 5 or 6 individuals and was just under 15mm.
