Rock bottom with white coral bushes and numerous squat lobsters

Rock bottom with white coral bushes and numerous squat lobsters. In center of photo, large squat lobster is “standing” over smaller squat lobster. Is it looking for dinner? reproductive activity? some other crab social activity? High biological abundance but low diversity of corals characterized this area ( two different morphs of primnoid corals) at 800 m on Paramount Seamount.
