Urchin shrimp - Tuleariocaris holthuisi

Urchins come out of hiding at night to forage and we are especially wary of accidentally bumping into them. Several large black urchins revealed a number of bright red "urchin shrimp" crawling up and down their long spines. The largest of these little shrimp was less than 10mm and could hide easily behind a single spine.
