  • "The squat lobster looks to me like Munidopsis tiburon Jones and Macpherson, 2007. It does not have prominent spines on the propodi of the walking legs or on the abdomen but some on the carapace flanking the rostrum. The location is somewhat south of the recorded range - Mary K. Wicksten, 10 Mar 2021" Id from images. Eventlog Description= White sponge, lots of tubes, has crab associate, attached to rock, maybe Tretodictyidae; WetLab Description – Overall sample= Many fragments of white translucent fragile sponge. Largest fragment is 8cm tall; WetLab Description – Subsample=squat lobster; Subsample Biometrics=N/A
