The majority of shrimps in the subfamily Pontoniinae live on or inside of other animals. These shrimp species generally show specificity in their host animals.
The shrimp here has a feather star as its host. You can see whitish shrimps on the hanging arms of the feather star at the center bottom of the picture: one on the leftmost arm and the other on the second arm from the left. The latter shrimp changes its location during the movie. (translated by Asoh)
