I once wondered aloud if scientists had tattoos of their science. The answer was yes, and this ever-growing collection is the evidence. If you want to share your own scientific ink, send it to me with some explanation.

Your isopod is Anilocra haemuli Williams and Williams, 1981. This isopod occurs on the Creolefish in many parts of the Caribbean, but is most abundant and most photographed in Bonaire. Due to some genetic work by one of our students, we are about to change the name of this isopod. The large specimens are females.
