Pentidotea wosnesenskii
Pentidotea wonsnesenskii is a marine isopod which lives on seaweed on rocky shores along the British Columbia and Washington coastlines, as far south as San Francisco.[3] It can be as large as 40 millimetres (1.6 in) long, with a concave (outwardly curved) tail rather than an indented tail as previously shown on this page, [2] is usually green, but its colour is adaptable to its environment. It can often be found hiding under rockweed (Fucus gardnerii) in the intertidal zone.[2] It is named after the Russian biologist Ilya G. Voznesensky.[3]
