Phronima, family Phronomidae, order Amphipoda, Gulf of Aqaba, north Red Sea
This is a genus of small deep sea hyperiid amphipod crustaceans.
Phronima rear their young, and sometimes live in, the empty "tunics" of tunicates (sea squirts), which they kill and eat.
They are also known as "pram bugs" and "barrel shrimp".
