Not too dissimilar from their abovewater brethen… but also unique in their own ways.

These guys are the perfect food for shrimp. They’re called brine shrimp (shrimp cannibalism?), but you likely know them as sea monkeys. Questions is, would you eat a cereal bowl of them?

You need to add the signature white “D” on it, and make the eyes red.
Might aswell make the anomalocaris a sapient from some of doom’s pfps.
