A genus of small marine crustaceans that look like tiny shrimp and live on seaweed and other underwater surfaces.
From Latin caprella, meaning 'little goat,' because these creatures were thought to resemble tiny goats with their leg movements and appearance.
Caprella amphipods are such bizarre creatures that they're called 'skeleton shrimp' or 'ghost shrimp' because their see-through bodies and weird posture make them look like aliens from the deep sea!
