During 2016–2017, the remotely operated vehicle Deep Discoverer photographed squat lobsters during expeditions to the central Pacific Ocean. Photographs showed at least five species of chirostyloid lobsters living on anthozoans at 270–3280 m depth. The lobsters usually associated with only one or two host species. Only one chirostyloid lived on an individual host colony at a time. They occupied different host species than the ophiuroid Ophiocereas oedipus, which also lives on colonial anthozoans, and did not seem to interact with predatory starfishes (Goniasteridae).

一对顾客：蹲龙虾（Chirostyloidea）与其按蚊寄主的关系

在2016年至2017年期间，遥控车Deep Discoverer在远征太平洋中部期间拍摄了深蹲龙虾。照片显示，至少有五种手足类龙虾生活在270-3280 m深度的按蚊属中。龙虾通常仅与一种或两种寄主物种有关。一次只在一个寄主菌落上生活一个手性类细菌。他们所生活的寄主物种不同于ophioroid Ophiocereas oedipus，后者也生活在殖民地的蚁生动物上，似乎与掠食性海星（Goniasteridae）没有相互作用。
