A tiny unidescribed amphipod (>500 microns) perched on the cerata of an unidescribed nudibranch (Flabellina sp.). These amphipods live on hydroids and possibly this one was displaced after the nudibranch ate its home. Since the nudibranch feeds on hydroids, perhaps staying on the nudibranch will bring it to a new home. Anilao, Batangas, Luzon, Philippines. Verde Island Passages, Tropical West Pacific Ocean.
