What Are These Little Guys?

[Tom Nic]

Even with my wonderful Sea Vision perscription mask I still miss little things up close. I saw this little guy by accident... probably because of the bright orange color.

As I looked closer I saw what appear to be "babies"? At least they are clear, smaller versions of the orange "large" one. Then on another photo I noticed another one, this one a darker color but apparently the same species. BTW, he was maybe an eighth of an inch long.

Now Tom, I know some of us are pretty close friends, but perhaps you should see your doctor about those little creepy crawlies instead of asking for identification here. It's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Another great find, Tommy! This little guy is called a Neon Sea Flea, Podocerus cristatus. Aptly named, wouldn't you say?
