Will correct location when I know it. Unusually large specimen approx. 400 microns across. Due to the unusually inflated test, it may instead be an undescribed species. [edit: was actually a known species I hadn't previously encountered].
21 m depth.
Reddish barrel sponges in foreground. Adjacent greenish patches are colonies of the coral Porites panamensis.
Karen L. Johnson (kljinsitka) collected the sediment sample from ~ 21m depth and sent it to me. I found this specimen. See also www.foraminifera.eu/single.php?no=1021517&aktion=suche

Baseball-sized velutinid (vestigial shell is inside), observed on a DFO Quebec Region scallops survey.
Came off a rockfish as we were fileting it. No true rostrum. Proprodi of pereopods 1-3 with a large, broad spine edged with 3 coalesced spines. Meri of pereopods 1-3 with what I would call blunt spines. 16 mm total length.
Copepod parasite seen on a Redfish (Sebastes sp.), during a DFO Quebec Region trawl survey with the CCGS Needler in summer of 2001 / Copépode parasite vu sur un sébaste (Sebastes sp.), lors d'un relevé de chalut du MPO région du Québec à bord du NGCC Needler durant l'été du 2001.
associated with green sea urchins at an extreme low tide (-3.50) at 0-1 foot of water at peak low tide (normally a subtidal, uncommon species, dozens were present).
On sand and gravel substrate. No sea pens seen nearby, but normal sea pen depth inaccessible due to snorkeling only and low light.
I am pretty sure I saw something about these in a book or guide around the time I took this picture, but unfortunately didn't make a note, and haven't been able to refind it. @aaronbaldwin @paul_norwood @kljinsitka is this something you recognize? (It was only a few mm tall)
Only red specimen of this species I have seen. Found under dock in downtown Petersburg.
