It was about 1 inch long and I put it in a small aquarium and took a pic of it. I dont know what it is called. I found it in the northern sea of cortez.
gotobaja,
Since you live close by, I think you ought to take some pix down to Scripps and have them take a look at it. That ought to clarify its little self . . . might even be a new species. Then they could name it after you, say cameronabonita gotobajaensis.

Dosent glow. I found another thing that I just call the blob. I let him go in my aquarium and I see him every 3 or 4 months. That thing is day-glo orange. Ill take a pic of him if he comes out again.
When I am in the water, as most of you know, the closer I look the more I see. The beauty of the ocean is in the details...
I have spent a tank in a 10x10 patch of reef just laying on the bottom and looking into every hiding spot there was. The enchanted Islands in northern baja have so much weird stuff. I need to get me one of those real good underwater digitals.
The problem is, the tides are extreme at the islands and they are only diveable twice a month for 2 or 3 days. But thats why there is so much life under the water.
Getting tanks is tough out here also, you have to bring your own. I freedive mostly so sometimes I will sit in 3 ft of water at the top of a seamount and just lay in the water for a couple of hours and watch the show.
Then someone will want a ham sandwich...

I hear ya. I've spend hours flipping over rocks in the sea of cortez on low tide. The fish and invertabrates are amazing. Just watch out for the bristle worms. If I ever get back I'll try watching them in action too. It is really different than any other place I've seen.

I knew you guys would be able to find out the answer!!
Thanks alot Island Sands!!
That sure is one hell of a shrimp book.
So much for naming my first ever discovered shrimp species....
I still like disco or shr(p)imp shrimp.
Although it flys around the water like a little bee.
Im gonna have to find something else to post now.
Im leaving again on Wed for a 5 day island trip and we are bringing a top quality underwater video camera, maybe I can get some stills from the cameraman.
