I have been diving in Dauin, Negros, Philippines for a few weeks and one of the best things I found are the crinoids - they often contain not one, but two different crustacean. The shrimp and squat lobsterb had a wild time in the crinoid!

I also wrote a blog post reflecting on what it must be like to live in another living creature.

I love the crinoids. I think I saw one in every color of the rainbow on our last Philippines trip. And they reward close inspection because of their commensals.
