These little dudes and dudettes don’t just come in different shapes and sizes. They also come in different colors as well. Some are ghostly white, while others are red. And still others, like the amphipod above, are a mix.

“Some of the colours and patterns might be for camouflage, whilst others could be to attract a mate,” Griffiths wrote.

Honestly, this amphipod looks ready for a night out.
