Thanks for showing these. I've never seen anything like it in baja.
They look like crawdads except that they're translucent. Pretty things.
Were they bottom dwellers or suspended in water like those tuna crabs?

Makes sense, Von. A lot of symbiotic crustaceans that live inside others lose much of their pigmentation. Sometimes we dig up clams here and find a
pale little crab living together with it.

Can they survive outside their host? If so, I wonder what they would grow into. So, what species are they? Did they hitchhike from another area in an
earlier time? It would appear that they are firmly established in The Sea of Cortez.

Maybe Comitan can take a photo over to the marine biology school (UABCS, maybe?) near him. They should know.

And who considers them edible? Probably just me, but I am not drawn to eat anything exoskeletal.
