Phronima sedentaria is a species of amphipod crustaceans found in oceans at a depth of up to 1 km (0.6 mi). They are large in size relative to other members of the family Phronimidae.[3] Individuals may be found inside barrel-like homes, created most commonly from the tunics of select species of tunicate, where they rear their young.[4] P. sedentaria is known to employ multiple feeding strategies and other interesting behaviors, including daily vertical migration.[4][5] The species is also known by the more common names “pram bug” and “barrel shrimp.”
