Whitestripe urchin shrimp — size comparison — facts and sources

Stegopontonia commensalis has an exceptionally slender elongated body. Thin white longitudinal lines cross its dark violet almost black shell. Short limbs and a broad flattened rostrum are characteristic.

It lives among sea-urchin spines, observed on Echinothrix calamaris, E. diadema and Diadema paucispinum. Pairs may travel along host spines, fitting narrow spaces.
