I have no idea. Pods aren't exactly my area of expertise. Razz

It's not an amphipod. It can be found intertidally and is described in at least one book about nearshore marine life by Eugene N. Kozloff.

by **Hero** October 19th 2011, 12:26 am

Does anyone have that book...

Another hint?

by 4PacNW October 19th 2011, 2:26 am

It's usually found in "foul substrate types" i.e. decaying seaweeds or other detritus types. It is in the exclusive order called Leptostraca.

Nebalia sp.?

by 4PacNW October 19th 2011, 10:04 pm

Genus name is correct.

by **Hero** October 30th 2011, 4:30 pm

I'll get back to you on that later tonight. Now that I know the genus I should be able to figure out the species name. Very Happy

nebalia bipes?

by 4PacNW November 10th 2011, 4:41 pm

No, sorry.

Nebalia kensleyi?

by 4PacNW November 12th 2011, 11:29 pm

It sounds like washington.

by 4PacNW November 21st 2011, 3:57 pm

OK, I'm just going to have to give this to Hero since he guessed it was a Nebalia species first. Proper identification may be impossible from a photo.

by 4PacNW November 21st 2011, 4:01 pm

Btw is was Nebalia pugetensis mentioned in Eugene. N. Kozloff's Seashore Life of the Puget Sound, the Strait of Georgia, and the San Juan Archipelago.

by **Hero** December 3rd 2011, 4:26 pm

Thanks for giving the answer! It was quite difficult to find the species... I'll post one later.

I have a good one with a 2 quite difficult species. It is cold water.

A hint perhaps? Maybe what ocean?

by 4PacNW August 13th 2012, 12:32 pm

Some type of nemertean worm?

by Bluntokian November 20th 2012, 10:21 pm

Its a starfish of some sort correct?
