Deep-sea

00:00:04.733 --> 00:00:07.800
corals are often considered
as "condominiums of the deep,"

00:00:08.066 --> 00:00:12.000
because they provide habitat
for a large variety of organisms.

00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:15.533
This shrimp, which we think is Lebbeus
schrenki,

00:00:16.466 --> 00:00:19.200
is commonly
found on a wide variety of corals.

00:00:20.200 --> 00:00:22.666
In shallow waters,
this shrimp is a "cleaner shrimp,"

00:00:23.066 --> 00:00:25.866
cleaning
dead tissue and parasites from fishes.

00:00:26.666 --> 00:00:29.533
It might be conducting
similar activities on corals,

00:00:30.133 --> 00:00:34.600
so perhaps corals should be considered
as food markets as well as houses.
