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.
