Shrimp living in clam

Very cool! I wonder if that means it was maricultured/wild collected instead of farmed, or if there are some of those commensal shrimp that have managed to propagate in an aquaculture facility alongside their hosts.

It's always fascinating how many organisms seem to have evolved to live in very specific environments - like particular host species, and seems like a lot of them are shrimp.
Most likely wild caught/collected.
