based on the right angle bend in the antenna and the coloration, I'd say this is a sergestid
-
-
The epimeron of abdominal segment 2 does not overlap that of segments 1 and 3. This view shows the thorax to the left and abdominal segments 1-4 with the bases of the pleopods. Photo is of a preserved specimen.
-
As in most seregestids, the rostrum is very short. Unlike Eusergestes similis, the rostrum of Sergia tenuiremis is blunt. There are no supreaorbital or hepatic spines on the carapace.
-
This animal swims through the water with its feathery pleopods. The head of this preserved specimen is to the right.
-
Unlike Eusergestes similis, there is a tubercle on the medial eyestalks in Sergia tenuiremis. In this view the animal is facing left.
-
based on rostrum and frilliness of legs, I think it's Aristaeopsis (formerly Plesiopenaeus). It certainly looks exactly like one that I saw from the sub in the Bahamas
-
In this photo the dendrobranchiate (tree-like in structure) gills can be seen hanging from below the carapace. In this species the gills are podobranchs, which is an epipod gill attached to the coxa (basal segment) of the legs. These podobranch gills are arising, left to right, from the third maxilliped and from pereopods 1-3. Photo of a preserved specimen

Sergia tenuiremis captured below 500 m depth off Point Conception, CA, Sept 1992. This photo is of a preserved specimen which has lost its darker original color. The animal has also lost its long, fragile second antennae which are longer than the body. (Photo by: Dave Cowles Oct 2006)

As a member of family Penaeidae, pereopods 1-3 are all chelate. This photo of a preserved specimen shows the chelae on pereopods 1 (left) to 3 (right).
