A squat lobster, Gastroptychus cf

A squat lobster, Gastroptychus cf. spinifer, residing on a black coral with a large multi-color shrimp. Members of this genus always associate with gorgonian or antipatharian corals, and are commonly observed with their chelipeds (claws) spread, but no one knows whey they do this because they live in deep dark places.
