These images were taken using a Keyence Microscope. This 'crustacean' was found on 7 Mile Beach. I think it was alive when it was originally collected, but has since died. It was originally transparent and had 3 spines, but has since been damaged and degraded in storage. It was found December 20 2020.
The last image shows how it was originally.
