| This large (over 310 mm. in length) Sawtooth Penshell was collected from muddy sand during a minus tide at Vilano Beach, St. Johns County, Florida on 4/16/2007. Upon further investigation a pair of the Palaemonid Shrimp Pontonia domestica [Atlantic Pen Shrimp] were found living inside the shell - an example of commensalism.
