What a cutie patootie

[HairOfTheDog]

So, the little creature is a very small, immature crab. That's what the tuna company is saying.

Or, it's a Cymothoa Exigua. That's what a scientist is saying.

The Cymothoa Exigua is more interesting -- it's a tongue-eating louse, a parasite that enters through the gills of a fish and attaches itself to the fish's tongue; cutie patootie may have been attached to a smaller fish that was later eaten by the tuna.
