How good are your eyes? At first this looks like just a nudie on a hydroid but after much looking I have counted at least 16 critters in this picture.

Are those skeleton shrimp hiding in the hydroid branches?

Did you know the skeleton shrimp were there when you took the picture? I have taken a few shots where i was surprised when i got home by cool things i didn't see when i took the shot.

And what kind of Nudi is that?

Actually not,,, Even my eyes are not that good. The nudie is about the size of a sesame seed so you can guess they are way to small to see with the naked eye.
