The behaviour of Peregrinamor ohshimai, a bivalve attached to the ventral cephalothorax of the upogebiid shrimp, during host ecdysis was observed directly with time-lapse video. In the intermoult stage of the host, the bivalve never moved. However the bivalve crawled on to the newly emerged body of the host at the time when the host moulted.
