Laomenes pardus Marin, 2009
15mm

Many crinoids are host to small crinoid shrimp in the genus Laomenes. These variable shrimp often closely match their crinoid hosts in color and pattern, making species difficult to determine from just a photograph. This one is a pretty close match to some published figures of Laomenes pardus.
