The tube of the cerianthid seems to have been damaged because in its upper part the ampulla of the phoronids can be seen out of the tube; this part acting as anchor is always located in the rear-end of the phoronid tube within that of the cerianthid. A shrimp Ancylomenes magnificus is swimming over the tube.
