Periclimenes commensal shrimp (Periclimenes brevicarpalis) on its host. The shrimp's host (such as a sea anemone) is not harmed by the shrimp, nor does it derive any benefit from carrying it. This type of relationship is called commensalism, a type of symbiosis. Photographed in Lembeh Strait, off Sulawesi, Indonesia.
