![[captive] Deep Sea Amphipod (Cystisoma neptuni) has a transparent body, with the exception of the stomach and its compound eyes. They may feed on on soft-bodied animals. “See and NOT be seen” seems to be the life motto of the deep-sea amphipod Cystisoma neptuni. The segments of its highly-specialised compound eyes collect rays of light in crystalline cones and lead them to the tips of light-guiding tubes that are connected to the optic nerves. Its transparent body prevents the crustacean from being detected and caught by predators. It is only visible thanks to the special lightning in my photo aquarium. | Amphipode (Cystisoma neptuni) (Flohkrebs)](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000jvqffEZ9ze8/fill=/fit=180x180/I0000jvqffEZ9ze8.jpg)

![[captive] Larval Prawn, (Plesiopenaeus armatus, synonym: Cerataspis monstrosus), penaeid shrimp. The larvae Cerataspis monstrosa has heavy armor, a thick body and exceptional horn ornamentation. Described as “monstrous and misshapen animal,” it is the preferred meal for its predators such as skipjack, yellowfin and blackfin tuna and dolphin. The origin of Cerataspis monstrosa has been a mystery for more than 180 years. For nearly two centuries, researchers have tried to track down this larva that has shown up in the guts of other fish over time but found no adult counterpart. 2012 it is discovered that the “monster larva” and the deep-water aristeid shrimp known as Plesiopenaeus armatus are one in the same: larvae and adult forms of the same species.
