Idiomysis tsurnamali Bacescu, 1973
Idiomysis is a genus of minuscule crustaceans and they belong to an order called Mysida. The common name for the order is Opossum Shrimp because the females keep their eggs in a brood pouch called a marsupium (which comes from the Greek for “bag” or “pouch”). This sets the order apart from other crustaceans, whose larvae are free-swimming.
Idiomysis tsurnamali is commensal with the sea anemone Megalactis hemprichi or the medusa Cassiopea andromeda .
