Cumacean

Cumella gomoiui

• Group: Other
• Typical depth: 2–15 m

A tiny crustacean barely visible to the eye, this cumacean lives in and just above the sediment of coral reefs. It drifts up into the water at times and settles back to the bottom, keeping to shallow bay and nearshore ground between about 2 and 15 metres.
