I'm not sure why..but for some reason there's a TON of awesome sexy shrimp-sea urchin commensal love videos floatin' round the Internets this week!!
Go Forth and be amazed!!
A shrimp that the videographer-the awesome Morphologic Studios identifies as Gnathophylloides mineri on the Caribbean "sea egg" Tripneustes ventricosus...
Morphologic studios shot this amazing footage of a "pea crab" (Dissodactylus primitivus)(length=7.0 mm!) on the heart urchin Meoma ventricosus!
A tiny shrimp on what looks like a fire urchin..
Here's a little guy in what looks like a diadematid urchin..with just some stunning video..
What looks like the same species...of shrimp/urchin...
I'm guessing this is a decorator crab that has added a fire urchin (Astropyga?) as it makes a break for it across an open plain...
Oddly enough here's another person with video of the SAME thing...
Those crazy crustaceans! The footage of the shrimp/urchin was beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
