BrianM 2 Posted June 15, 2013 3rd one could be Ascidonia sp. a tiny shrimp symbiotic shrimp that lives with host tunicates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrianM 2 Posted June 15, 2013 4th one looks like a version of the soft coral shrimp Alcyonohippolyte maculata (bottom of p92 in Reef Creature Identification - Tropical Pacific by Humann & Deloach) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrosenf 6 Posted June 15, 2013 Brian, which edition of Reef Creature Identification are you referring to (mine is first edition - 2010) or has Hippolyte sp. 1 or 2 now been described? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrianM 2 Posted June 15, 2013 I'm using this book, maybe it's a 2nd edition, but it doesn't say. Alcyonohippolyte maculata was described in 2011 according to this page on WORMS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seansrs968 10 Posted June 18, 2013 Here is another strange one from Anilao I am trying to ID: http://www.seansydnorphotography.com/p802662062/h6f89b446#h6f89b446 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrianM 2 Posted June 18, 2013 Lol! Look for Pompom or Boxer Crabs and you will find it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrosenf 6 Posted June 18, 2013 The Boxer Crab is Lybia tessellata. Here's a shot of mine of the species, also from Anilao. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Hope 148 Posted July 17, 2013 Re. the first one, Randall in "Reef and Shore Fishes of the South Pacific" (2005) says that Cetoscarus bicolor is local to the Red Sea, and that the rest are actually Cetoscarus ocellatus, "spotted parrotfish". And Allen & Erdmann's "Reef Fishes of the East Indies" (2012) only features C. ocellatus and doesn't mention C. bicolor at all. I went ahead and re-labelled all of mine. Apologies for pedantry.
