Luconacia incerta (95440)

Image of the creature

This caprellid amphipod is epifaunal, living on the surfaces of algae filaments, sea stars, echinoderms, gorgonians, and hydroids, where it snacks on encrusting periphyton. Juveniles are brooded in their mothers marsupium, and emerge camoflauged, like their mother, blending into their home substrate.
