Brian Ward February 3, 2012 February 3, 2012 Hopefully no one has this amphipod variant in their tank http://gizmodo.com/5881882/researchers-pull-enormous-amphipod-from-the-depths-of-new-zealands-deep-seas
extreme_tooth_decay February 3, 2012 February 3, 2012 (edited) Nasty. Looks like a giant roach! I like how the article says the largest specimen was regurgitated by a sea bird. Heh. Big meal! Edited February 3, 2012 by extreme_tooth_decay
Coral Hind February 3, 2012 February 3, 2012 I saw that this morning on Fox News. One of the seven they caught was 11" long!! http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012/02/03/terrifying-giant-crustaceans-found-in-deep-sea/
smallreef February 3, 2012 February 3, 2012 We were watching a show on Discovery about a new ROV and they had gone to the ocean floor by Guam and seen amphipods like that,... and sea cucumbers with legs!
smallreef February 3, 2012 February 3, 2012 they just give me the creeps...roaches crossed with spiders ::shivers::
Hilary February 4, 2012 February 4, 2012 The ones in my pico aren't quite that big, but they are big enough to grab the granules when I feed and run off with them.
Coral Hind February 4, 2012 February 4, 2012 A bigger one: That is an isopod and not an amphipod but still extremely huge and ugly.
SunWyrm February 5, 2012 February 5, 2012 I kinda want to see what my mantis would do with it. On second thought, no, no I don't.
