Palaemonid
Palaemonidae is a family of shrimp in the order Decapoda. Many species are carnivores that eat small invertebrates, and can be found in any aquatic habitat except the deep sea. One significant genus is ''Macrobrachium'', which contains commercially fished species. Others inhabit coral reefs, where they associate with certain invertebrates, such as sponges, cnidarians, mollusks, and echinoderms, as cleaner shrimps, parasites, or commensals. They generally feed on detritus, though some are carnivores and hunt tiny animals. The family contains more than 1200 species in 160 genera. The genera were formerly split into two subfamilies, but in 2015, molecular and morphological research determined that the subfamily groupings were invalid. At the same time, the members of the families Gnathophyllidae and Hymenoceridae were incorporated into the Palaemonidae. Genera The following genera are recognised: *'' Actinimenes'' *'' Alburnia'' *''Allopontonia'' *'' Altopontonia'' *'' A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Periclimenes Pedersoni
''Ancylomenes pedersoni'', sometimes known as Pederson's shrimp and Pederson's cleaner shrimp, is a species of cleaner shrimp. It is part of the genus '' Ancylomenes'' and was described in 1958 by Fenner A. Chace Jr. as ''Periclimenes pedersoni''. ''Ancylomenes pedersoni'' is found in the Caribbean Sea, often associated with a sea anemone, at depths of . They are often found on the reefs off Bermuda. Description Pederson's shrimp is a small transparent shrimp with bluish and violet markings on the body and long white antennae and within its range is unlikely to be confused with other species. Ecology Pederson's shrimp lives in association with a sea anemone, either ''Bartholomea annulata'' or '' Condylactis gigantea'', living among the tentacles with impunity. Before it can do this it needs to acclimatise itself to the anemone by progressively pressing its body and appendages against the tentacles for increasing periods of time. After this it is able to move between the tentac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
