A good example of a relationship between the Imperial Shrimp and a large nudibranch. The shrimp will ride on the nudibranch, receiving transportation, getting exposed to larger areas with more potential food sources while using less energy.

Usually the squat shrimp is not easy to photograph because it keeps bouncing as if it is squatting. This one was cooperating

This was taken in Tulamben in the USAT Liberty ship wreck.

Zanzibar whip coral shrimp: Whenever I take photos of such magnificent detailed creatures, I can't help it but think how creepy it would have been if they were the size of a human.

I really love clownfish, especcially when they are in a nice-coloured anemone. Did you know that clownfish co-exist with the anomone? Other predators get stung by the anemone, except for the clownfish, they in turn, keep the anemone clean!
