This juvenile crab was hitching a ride inside the barrel of a pelagic tunicate collected at the Liquid Jungle Lab. Pelagic tunicates, or salps, are the subject of Joint Program Student Kelly Rakow's thesis work in the lab of Larry Madin. Salps and other jellies are frequently associated with crustacean hitchhikers.

This juvenile crab was hitching a ride inside the barrel-shaped body of a transparent, gelatinous pelagic tunicate collected at the Liquid Jungle Lab in Panama. Pelagic tunicates, or salps, are the subject of Joint Program Student Kelly Rakow Sutherland's thesis work in the lab of Larry Madin. In the open ocean, crustacean hitchhikers are frequently associated with salps and other jellies.
