These specimens where collected from tamil nadu, India. The species of the shrimp is p. semisulcatus. I wish to know the fouling species. I have attached the sterio microscope view of the fouling organisms.
In one of the articles by the Lowcountry Estuarium, a private nonprofit organization dedicated to the principle of “Conservation through Education", it was mentioned that hydroids, a life stage for most animals of class Hydrozoa, are the fouling organisms on shrimps.
