Colemans shrimp on a sea urchin

Colemans shrimp (Periclimenes colemani) on the body of a venomous sea urchin (Asthenosoma varium). This shrimp is found exclusively on this sea urchin, whose poison provides them both with protection from predators. The host urchin 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 Sulawesi, Indonesia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fascinating relationship between Colemans shrimp and a venomous sea urchin. Found exclusively on the body of the Asthenosoma varium, these tiny shrimps benefit from the protection provided by their host's poison, effectively deterring predators. The sea urchin itself remains unharmed and gains no advantage from carrying its symbiotic companion. Captured in Sulawesi, Indonesia, this image highlights an extraordinary example of commensalism in nature. Commensalism refers to a type of symbiosis where one organism benefits while the other is unaffected. In this case, the Colemans shrimp thrives under the sheltering embrace of its toxic host. The intricate details showcased in this photograph allow us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity of marine life. The vibrant colors and delicate features of these creatures remind us of nature's incredible diversity. This image serves as a reminder that even within seemingly harsh environments like underwater ecosystems, unique relationships can form between species for mutual survival. It also emphasizes how crucial it is for us to protect these fragile habitats so that such remarkable interactions can continue to thrive undisturbed. Science Photo Library has once again captured a mesmerizing moment in our natural world with this stunning portrayal of coexistence between two distinct organisms – an exquisite testament to biodiversity at its finest.
