Coralliocaris sp.

Material examined.

1 juv., MAP­153, ST­093, 12°40.519’N 54°04.170’E, Hawlaf Bay, E. of Hadibo, N coast, 9–10 m, 21 March 1999, SMF 29196.

Host. Acropora valida (Dana) [ Scleractinia].

Remarks. The single small specimen has a rostral dentition of 5/1, with a well developed deep lamina, but lacks both second pereiopods, so cannot be specifically identified. It probably belongs to either C. graminea (Dana, 1852) or C. viridis Bruce, 1974 a. This small collection of shrimps from Acropora hosts is remarkable for the lack of many of the usual associates of these hosts.
