A feather star shrimp (crinoid shrimp: Hippolyte prideauxiana) in a red feather star (Antedon bifida). I have been told that this is the female, but I cannot confirm with this little known species. This observation greatly expands the known range of this species in the UK. St Abbs, Eyemouth, Berwickshire, Scotland, United Kingdom. British Isles. North Sea.
