Up to 74% of Hyperiella dilitata swimming around there sported a pteropod safety pack.

And, luckily for both parties, the pteropod’s pteroenone production is not based on its diet, so starvation doesn’t necessarily impair its ability to deter fish.

"A survival pack for escaping predation in the open ocean: amphipod–pteropod associations in the Southern Ocean."

Here's some video of an amphipod styling with its much-smaller pteropod in tow:

The amphipods carrying pteropods were also found at stations where amphipod abundance was much lower than other stations, which suggests that pteropod abduction might be a response to intense predation pressure.
