(File & Specimen syna001)

 Dated Collected: 05 August 2008
 Collected by : Charles Raabe
 Location : 18 feet deep commensal on a Crinoid.  Marigondon city, The Philippines
 Identified by Dr. A. Anker

 This species host organism : Crinoid  
 
 Notes :   Found as a pair living/hiding on the Crinoid's oral plate making it very difficult to remove as the shrimp were very adept at moving through the crinoid and were very reluctant to leave the host.  Even when I managed to remove one of the shrimp it would swim through open water to get back to its host.
