On our first dive of the cruise at the Atwater Valley Site 340, we came across this large carbonate outcrop with a number of tubeworms, Escarpia, around the edges. On almost all the tubes there were these shrimp, Alvinocaris muricola, swimming around and hanging onto the tips. Associated with them were tiny little amphipods swimming around the seawater above the tubes. Video courtesy of Expedition to the Deep Slope, NOAA-OE.
