In this video a Sea Urchin Crab (dorippe frascone) is carrying an upside down jellyfish (cassiopeia andromeda). It's an underwater symbiotic relationship. In most cases, this species of crab catch and carry sea urchins on their backs (to do this, they have two special pairs of legs), but in rare cases, they carry jellyfish. Crabs do this in order to hide and protect themselves from predators.
