Re: Invert ID
Greetings,
The orange thing is a Broad-Base sea squirt (Cnemidocarpa finmarkiensis)
The thing on top of it sort of looks like a not quite intact amphipod molt; no clue as to species. Was it moving at all?
Conjecturally yours,
Alex

Re: Invert ID
Thanks for the info. It didn't appear to move, but I didn't hang around long to watch...

Re: Invert ID
It's a deep blade shrimp (Spirontocaris prionota). Has its tail tucked underneath, which is a very common posture for this species.
