Ecology Summary - Periclimenes yucatanicus
Ecology of Periclimenes yucatanicus
 
Main Ref. Felder, D.L., F. Alvarez, J.W. Goy and R. Lemaitre, 2009
Remarks It inhabits reef areas (Ref. 126124). Symbiotic, epibiotic (Ref. 97531) with sea anemones such as Condylactis gigantea and Bartholomea annulata, or even with some corallimorpharians and a scyphozoan jellyfish. It was also observed to be hosted by a scleractinian coral, Montastraea cavernosa in Yucatan Mexico (Ref. 126124). Dwells in reef and seagrass habitats in Belize. Forms obligate associations with sea anemones (Ref. 128695).
