Great video Francisco. It took several copapods here for me to realize they lived inside a clamshell, and then even more to realize he lives inside it, and it's not his egg. LOL

In your video, at 2:50, I see the shell has a honeycomb cell pattern in it. That's the first time I have seen that. Very nice detail.
