Ida sent this photo along. You're looking at the profile of photis pugnator. Pugnator. I'm pretty sure my siblings used to call me that.
These tiny creatures are tube-building amphipods. Amphipods are crustaceans known for their laterally compressed bodies. Think sea lice and sand fleas. Isn't that an illustrious corps of critters to belong to?
Thanks for the photo, Ida. I hadn't received my yearly dosage of amphipods yet.
