liquidguru 17 Posted December 26, 2012 I found this moving parasitic tapeworm inside a Translucent Gorgonian Shrimp. Does anyone have some more info on what exactly it may be? [vimeohd]56182966[/vimeohd] Thanks and seasons greetings to all Kaj Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leslie 0 Posted December 26, 2012 Hi Kaj -- Great capture (but then we've come to expect that of you!). Shrimp do get hit by a lot of different types of parasites including worms. I can't give you any specific information, only a link or two for general facts - [PDF] Handbook of Shrimp Diseases - the National Sea Grant Library nsgl.gso.uri.edu/tamu/tamuh95001.pdf http://en.wikipedia..../Parasitic_worm http://www.petshrimp...ss palaemonetes Incidentally, you're going to get a lot of hits on your bobbit video soon. The link was posted on our polychaete community forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
