When I first saw this prawn (Palaemon sp.) in the rockpools last year, I though I’d stumbled on a new species! But alas no. This poor chap is infected with a fungus Inodosporus octosporus, which has caused his insides to turn a milky white. The common name of this infection is, in fact, milk disease!

A pair of long-clawed porcelain crabs (Pisidia longicornis) showing us #couplesgoals. What a handsome couple! The male is the big one, the female the little one. The male has a bigger difference between his claw size than the female.
