Chromodoris coi with skeleton shrimp

February 20, 2009
From: Patricia Dilworth

I photographed this Chromodoris coi on a recent trip aboard the Pindito. The dive was at Kri Island - Raja Ampat at about 40 ft depth. When looking at the picture at home, I noticed the small skeleton shrimp on it's back.

Locality: Raja Ampat - Kri Island, 40 ft., Indonesia, 12 November 2009. Photographer: Patty Dilworth.

What fun!

Dear Patty,

I guess this is in response to Valda Fraser's recent messages on caprellids 'infesting' various nudibranchs [see #22259].

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
