- The fire urchin, Asthenosoma varium, is a dangerous sea urchin. It is characterized by a fiery coloration and by globular swellings beneath the tips of it's thousands of venomous spines. It can infict a very painful sting.
Various crustaceans form commensal relationships with the fire urchin to protect themselves from predators. Coleman shrimps, Periclimenes colemani, usual live in pairs on top of the fire urchin. The female is larger than the male. Zebra crabs, Zebrida adamsii, and urchin shrimps, Allopontonia brockii, are often found near the bottom of fire urchin. They feed on organic matter on the substrate as the sea urchin moves. This type of symbiotic relationship benefits the shrimps and crabs but not the host urchin.
Allopontonia iaini is a synonym of Allopontonia brockii.
I shot this footage at Anilao in the Philippines while diving with anilao PHOTO hotel ( / anilaophotohotel ) and with Crystal Blue Resort (www.divecbr.com) on their annual Critterfest workshop. Thanks to dive guides and critter spotters Ivan, Obet and Jomel.

The video was shot by Nick Hope with a Panasonic GH4 in a Nauticam NA-GH4 housing. I used an Olympus M.Zuiko ED 12-50mm f3.5-6.3 EZ lens and 60mm f2.8 macro lens.
I have more scuba diving videos and underwater footage on my website at:

You don't need any gimmicks. The video speaks for itself. You are an excellent underwater photographer.
The fire urchin, Asthenosoma varium, is not something you want to sit on. It makes the perfect refuge and transport for Coleman shrimps, urchin shrimps, and zebra crabs.

Super. Good job :-) :-) :-)
They’re so beautiful! From the black and white coloration if the Coleman shrimps to the orange and blue of the urchin!
I bet you had loads of fun making this video! Your work is stunning, the footage, editing and narration on all your videos both short clips and longer programmes are utterly fantastic, you have a whole host of great talents that many people would be proud to have just one of. Thank you for sharing your work with the world!
At 2:01 in between the eye stalks of the larger shrimp there are two brown patches that look like another set of eyes - but eyes of an animal, like a lion or something. It's almost as if the shrimp itself is a mask over the face underneath. If that makes any sense. God's creation is amazing, there is no end to the diversity, beauty and complexity! Thanks for sharing.
I like the music, nice job!
The music and flames get in the way of enjoying the video.
Loved this footage! Brought information to me that would otherwise been hard to visualize.
Way Cool !!! Well done...
Wow hard to believe these are real thanks for sharing.
Hot I like it! A new style!
Best wishes, JB
Loved the video of the sea life, hated the music and fire. I would rather have the usual good commentary.
