This behaviour has previously reported by SERPENT at the slightly deeper Scheihallion and Foinaven fields close to Lancaster. For further details see: Hudson, I. R and Wigham, B. D. (2003). In situ observations of the predatory feeding behaviour of the galatheid squat lobster Munida sarsi using a remotely operated vehicle.
