The Census of Marine Life
has now taken the World Register of Marine Species, WoRMS, more than half-way to completion.
Notable achievements along the way include the addition of new species such as the Yeti Crab (captured by slurp gun) and Ghost Shrimp, as well as the corrected classification of many species, notably that master of disguise, the breadcrumb sponge with its 56 aliases.
