The lacy bryozoan, Triphyllozoon inornatum, has been the subject of attention over the last couple of years since divers at Ambon and Alor in Indonesia spotted some interesting small cryptic critters living in them.

On a recent trip to the Lembeh Strait I spotted a bryozoan goby, crab and snapping shrimp living in different bryozoans. The goby and shrimp are undescribed, but ichthyologist Gerry Allen plans to describe the goby soon. It's only about 1cm long.
