All the copepods are very similar but I saw also a beautiful one. Probably it is Anomalocera petersonii. As you can see it has even a central eye and lateral eyes.

a beautiful copepode
After many weeks of sunshine the sea is now in a so called "clear-water-phase" and therfore I find (almost) only copepods.
