A Happy Accident

[dwashbur]

My wife and I dove the Warren Avenue Bridge in Bremerton for the first time this morning and had a ball. While trying to take a picture of an opalescent nudibranch, Hermissenda crassicornis, her camera accidentally focused on this little amphipod or shrimp or whatever it is, passing by. We've gotten lots of pix of opalescents, but how often do you catch one of these little guys drifting past you in the water column???

Sometime luck is better then skill

So can anyone tell us what it is? I'm really curious.

It's a gammarid amphipod, but I can't tell you anything more specific.
