During a short survey in the Bay of Nha Trang (Vietnam), various corals and other sessile invertebrates were observed that acted as host for parasitic molluscs and commensal shrimps. To illustrate the research potential in Nha Trang on the evolution and diversity of symbiotic molluscs, we present some examples that appeared to be common due to the availability of host organisms, in this case stony corals (Scleractinia: Fungiidae) and sea cucumbers (Holothuria: Stichopodidae).
