How does this creature regulate its buoyancy? Where are its gills? Are they the dorsal membranes? If so, how many hearts does it have and where are they/it located?

Actually I dont get to design those things! Gets passed onto the writers. However my theory for buoyancy would be oil in its tissues.

Interesting mouthparts. Does it use a prehensile tongue or pharyngeal jaws to draw prey in after attacking with the main jaws?

Actually you can see the inner jaws in action on Youtube!

Your fantastic world reminds me of Larry Niven's Puppeteer planet. I think I have mentioned this to you before.
Anyway, amazing creature! What I love about your creatures is that they are very believable, with "form follows function" evolution respected.
The creature above may very well be swimming in the oceans of Europa or Titan.

I do love me some Niven... I even illustrated a Puppeteer!

Epic as always. I love alien designs that that inspiration from our own terrestrial small creatures and make them enormous, and vice-versa. This orca-sized shrimp monster is incredible, I especially love the bright salmon colors for his carapace, the lighting and shaping on the shells itself, and of course the tooth-like ridge detail on the mouth-parts. Gosh, I'd love to work with you someday!
