PHOTO GALLERY SPOTLIGHT by JAMES WISEMAN
Blood Shrimp (Cinetorhynchus manningi - ID by Dr. Mary Wicksten - Texas A&M University) on Montastraea cavernosa - Flower Garden Banks, National Marine Sanctuary This nocturnal decapod
can be found on night dives at the Flower Gardens and it probably occurs
throughout the Gulf of Mexico on hard bottom substrate. Its feeding
habits are unknown so it may or may not be a good reef aquarium candidate. |
