Bumblebee shrimp live (Gnathophyllum americanum) under the protection of numerous animals such as this Cushion Sea Star. I have also found them living amongst sea urchins and sea cucumbers. It is believed they feed on the tubed feet (pictured on the left) of their host in which case their behavior would not be symbiotic (benefiting both organisms), but parasitics.
