Phronima sedentaria (English spelling) Phronimasedentaria

...It is widely distributed in the seas near Japan, and is also found in inland bays influenced by ocean waters. A similar species, the large-tailed sea eagle Phronima sedentaria (illustration), belongs to the Phronidae family, and invades and parasitizes the bladder of planktonic protochordates, the sea urchins of salps, and the cloaca of ascidians, feeding on parts of the host's body and making it into its own home, where it raises its larvae. It is distributed in the Pacific Ocean south of central Japan. ...

From Tarumawashi

...The stomach always contains diatom shells, planktonic algae cells, and fragments of copepods, and it seems that they feed on such things. The largest of this species is the large-tailed sea eagle, Phronima sedentaria (illustration), which is 6-35 mm long. Females are known to have the strange habit of entering the gelatinous burrows of planktonic protochordata such as salps, sea urchins, and ascidians, eating the surrounding tissue, and building a barrel-shaped dwelling in which they live and raise their larvae. The closely related Phronima stebbingi, P. stebbingi , is small, with a body length of 3-9 mm, and is somewhat more widely distributed, even in cold waters.
