Invisible Oceans Founder's Collection: Invisible Oceans #96: Caridae II

A truly unknown, unidentified, mystery shrimp larva. This was a particularly unusual species. If you look carefully, you can see that it sits with its very transparent tail, telson, folded forward beneath its head. The very capable looking, fore and aft, spines are a strong deterrent against any would-be swallower of Crustacean larvae!
