Original - Periclimenes imperator is a species of shrimp that lives commensally on a number of hosts. The specimen shown here is living on Bohadschia argus, a species of sea cucumber.

Reason: A featured image on Commons, and a finalist for the 2009 picture of the year. Beautiful image of a rather interesting little creature, living atop another weird little creature.

Support. The background animal could be viewed either as attractive or a distraction. Since it adds EV and draws you in, I'd say the former. Mostlyharmless (talk) 02:00, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
