Llandudno beach, Hout Bay, Cape Town, South Africa (Google, OSM)

Description

Isopod / sea louse attached to the shell of a Bullia digitalis/ beach snail, possibly Exosphaeroma kraussi, but definitely in the Sphaeromatid Family

Peter Glynn says:

It appears to be a sphaeromatid isopod, but impossible to identify to species without careful examination of specimens.

I did not collect the specimen, and have not seen another since then. It appears to me that the isopod maybe grazing the algae on the shell of the bullia.

Disa River, Above Longkloof Weir, City of Cape Town, ZA-WC, ZA (Google, OSM)

It is a fynbos wetland area (river floodplain) with afromontane elements in it - e.g. this tree!
so difficult to choose the habitat!
