Batillipes is a genius of marine tardigrades. and ironically, given how difficult for James to find the first Batillipes tardigrades were actually found in the Baltic Sea. And since then there have been at least 36 species described. We don't know how exactly what species these Batillipes are but they do strongly resemble a species called Batillipes minius that was discovered in northern Portugal in 2015. And what was striking to James when he first saw them is just how small they are. He'd been expecting them to be much larger, more on the order of their freshwater relatives like this one, which at 200x looks giant compared to the Batillipes.
