"TIBURÓN TIGRE EN LAS PLAYAS DE MANZANILLO"

Murió varado en la playa de Miramar, Manzanillo, Col., Méx.

Longitud: 7 m

Creditos: José Levy & Colima de Ayer

Dredged at 740m

Feeding on Notolabrus celidotus at night

Fished from subtidal zone

How about this one?

I thought maybe Periclimenes yaldwyni, but looks like Palaemon?

I am yet to find a difference between orientalis and spinifrons but to me this one look different from other spinifrons I have seen. @clinton @wmblom

~ Cause of death: Chassé~ State of the animal: Mort~ Where is the animal?: Dans un estuaire~ Hunted with: filets

Interdorsal ridge present. Caught by handline.

Captured and released
Source : APECS

Attached distal of the dorsal fin of adult female Spinner Shark (Carcharhinus brevipinna)

I would like help identifying the darker kelp please?

In a high tidal rock pool.

Not sure about ID.

White Shark swimming near the surface. Filmed from a cage.

Found under a rock in the tidal zone

So far I haven't been able to find a match for this. I think I can rule out Jaxea, and super-amily Alpheoidea
I think maybe Calocarides
@clinton ?

maybe

Large numbers of these creatures on the tide line - never seen before today on this beach.

Intertidal reef platform.

Big one hiding in a massive sponge.

~10cm long
~3m subtidal

Edit: I went back almost six months later and it is still there in the exact same spot. 29/09/22
