Sun anemone shrimp

Sun anemones look like shag carpets on the reef. Definitely distinctive. And when you inspect them carefully, you can often find a species of shrimp, the sun anemone shrimp, that has a symbiotic relationship with the anemone.

 

Look closely and you can see a smaller one in the frame. The anemone was loaded with them.

 

If you tap "z" twice you can see the slight "hairs" on the shrimps claws.
