Hiya,

I've managed to capture some critters I don't know the names of. The first one I assume is some kind of pipefish and is hardly longer than a few centimeters.

The second one I've heard being called both a spider crab, a spider lobster and "the nephew of Spiderman's arch nemesis Dr Octopus"

The third one is an anemone shrimp

And the last one is also a shrimp

If you can help me improve my own knowledge it would be much appreciated :)

Best Regards,
Vigfus
 
Thanks PatW!

One down, three to go :)
 
Two more identified.
The shrimp in the anemone is a Mushroom coral shrimp, Cuapetes kororensis.
The fourth picture
is a Magnificent shrimp, Ancylomenes magnificus.

Still no luck on the first picture of the pygmy pipefish so if you recognize it or know someone who might, please let me know.

Best Regards,
Vigfus
