Remarks.
The host of this copepod is the actiniarian Anthopleura anjunae Den Hartog & Vennam, 1993. The previously recorded host name Anthopleura midori Uchida & Muramatsu, 1958 is a junior synonym of A. anjunae ( WoRMS Editorial Board 2021). It is remarkable that C. anthopleurus is an internal associate, living within the gastrovascular cavity of the actiniarian, but can be attracted to light.
