The first shrimp seems similar to Pliopontonia furtiva. Artur's photo that he calls Pliopontonia cf. furtiva is even closer

Thanks Jim, Kaloplocamus peludo does look a good fit, certainly hairy enough too.

Maybe Kaloplocamus maru as the body is browner and the description mentions the dark brown spots on the notum and gill branches. Though Richard Willan on Wetpixel questions if K. maru is the same species as K. peludo.

Thanks Leslie. I thought copepods usually had a pair of eggs sacs closer together and would need a point of entry on the host usually near the gill opening.

Thanks Leslie. It does seem similar to Ercolania or Stiliger, but I haven't found a match yet.

Maybe a Common Ghostgoby (Pleurosicya mossambica), the have a variation of colours but often with white dash markings along the spine, plus they like to perch on a range of soft coral.
