Issue Notice:
- Hymenocera picta: commonly known as the harlequin shrimp, is a species of saltwater shrimp found at coral reefs in the tropical Indian and Pacific oceans. It is usually considered the only species in the genus Hymenocera, but some split it into two species: H. picta from the central and east Pacific where the spots are deep pinkish-purple with a yellow edge, and H. elegans from the Indian Ocean and west Pacific where the spots are more brownish and have a blue edge. They reach about 5 centimetres (2.0 in) in length, live in pairs and feed exclusively on starfish, including crown-of-thorns starfish.
- Trapezia areolata: is a crab species from the family of the trapeziidae. The scientific name of the species was first published in 1852 by Dana.
- Hypselodoris bullockii: is a species of colorful sea slug or dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chromodorididae. Hypselodoris bullockii is quite variable in color. Hypselodoris apolegma, which looks similar to this species (and distinguished by a reticulate pattern gradually merging in to the pinkish purple), and was assumed to be possibly a different color form of H. bullockii. However, recent phylogenetic data confirm the distinction of the two species, and suggest a sister species relationship between them.
- Phyllorhiza punctata: is a species of jellyfish, also known as the floating bell, Australian spotted jellyfish or the white-spotted jellyfish. It is native to the West Pacific from Australia to Japan, but has been introduced widely elsewhere. It feeds primarily on zooplankton. P. punctata average 45?50 centimetres (18?20 in) in bell diameter but in October 2007, one 72 cm (28 in) wide, perhaps the largest ever recorded, was found on Sunset Beach, North Carolina.
