"Parasite Waiting for the Next Victim"
The Story: Some years earlier, in winter, I saw Nerocilia bivittata under a Sabella spallanzanii tube. I suppose the parasite was looking for a high point where it can reach a new victim. Given the very small size I really struggled to see it on a small iron pipe protruding from the sand, but being able to focus it with two wet lenses in front of the macro lens while I aimed the snoot pilot light freehand was really a feat.
