Karl Ove Knausgård (one of Norway's well-known writers) spent a year working as a teacher in the small village Fjordgård. He wrote about many of his experiences there in My Struggle: Book Four (he called the village "Håfjord" in the book).

Lives exclusively on the black coral whip, usually in pairs. I found only one, but they are very well camouflaged and small, so perhaps a second companion was around somewhere. You may wonder why the whip is called black coral when it's bright green, and the reason is due to its black inner skeleton. The outer flesh varies in color and P. Unciger shrimps adapt by changing their own skin to match the coral's color.
