Ecology and remarks. This species occurs among coral rubble and Halimeda at depths of 1.5–3 m . Panamanian specimens agree closely with the description of Photis sp. C of LeCroy (2000) with the exception of unequal rami on uropod 1 and a more rounded telson apex. Panamanian specimens have a small spinule on the inner ramus of uropod 3, which LeCroy noted as variable. Photis bulla sp. nov. most closely resembles Photis spinicarpa Shoemaker, 1942 based on gnathopod 1 carpus subquadrate proximally, gnathopod 2 with stout seta at palmar angle, gnathopod 2 dactyl flexor margin serrate, and pereopod 5 basis anterior margin with plumose setae but can be distinguished based on the absence of robust setae on upper proximal margin of gnathopod 1 carpus, male gnathopod 2 basis and carpus without anterodistal process, and pereopod 3 merus unexpanded. Photis bulla sp. nov. differs from Photis probolion sp. nov. in the following characters: coxa 1 with setae; male coxae 3 and 4 without stridulating ridges; female pereopod 5 with submarginal plumose setae; uropods 1 and 2 outer ramus with marginal setae. Photis bulla sp. nov. differs from all remaining described Photis species in having coxa 1 anteroventral margin slightly produced with gap in marginal setae. Additionally, the new species differs from Photis melanica and Photis butalus sp. nov. in having a posterodistal cluster of setae surpassing length of dactylus on pereopods 6 and 7. Live specimens are a mottled purple-brown color with purple-brown stripes on distal ends of antennae.
