Description of a new species of the Petrolisthes galathinus complex from the Caribbean Sea, and resurrection of Petrolisthes occidentalis from the East Pacific (Crustacea, Anomura, Porcellanidae)

Alexandra Hiller, Bernd Werding

Abstract The Petrolisthes galathinus complex currently consists of six American species distributed in the West Atlantic, including the amphi-American P. galathinus. All species in the complex are similar in their adult morphology but differ in colour, size, larval morphology, and shape of the adult sternal plate. The West Atlantic species have different geographic ranges, which overlap in the southern Caribbean. Previously published molecular data support the monophyly of the complex, and the reciprocal monophyly of each described species and further clades corresponding to different colour morphs. Here, the morph P. caribensis “Blue” is described as Petrolisthes coeruleus sp. nov., and Petrolisthes occidentalis is formally resurrected for the Pacific individuals of P. galathinus. By adding these two species to the P. galathinus complex, this now consists of eight species. Colour illustrations of all species and colour morphs are provided and their geographic distributions and ecological ranges are discussed and updated.

Chancellor Finis Valorum /petrolisthes violaceus

Not only did I choose this crustacean for its striking coloration, which resembles Valorum’s robe, but bc petrolisthes is a genus of porcelain crabs. Which (like the name suggests) are very delicate.

"If I may say so, Your Majesty, the Chancellor has little real power..” -Senator Palpatine

Porcelain crabs easily break apart, dropping their limbs to distract predators.

“He is mired by baseless accusations of corruption. The bureaucrats are in charge now.” - Sanator Palpatine continued

Because they inhabit tide pools and stony crevasses they can be easily stepped on/trampled.

 The Bubble-tip anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor) is a species of sea anemone in the family Actiniidae which is native to the tropical waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans being found in particular abundance in the Red Sea. In the wild, E. quadricolor are found in two locations. Large adult specimens, with tentacles that are more streaming or stringy, are often found in deeper waters with more dimly lit conditions. These specimens are often solitary, while smaller, younger specimens are often located in groups or colonies nearer to the surface, in bright sunlight. These specimens tend to show the bulbous tips on their tentacles that are characteristic of E. quadricolor. A characteristic of E. quadricolor is its ability to maintain a symbiotic relationship with anemonefish, anemone shrimp, porcelain crabs, and domino damsels which can be "hosted" by the anemone by providing it with defence against predators and also providing some nourishment. In turn, the anemone provides the fish/ crustacean with shelter. These anemones get the majority of there energy from from solar radiation via its symbiotic zooxanthellae, and can also obtain nutrients by filter feeding using its sweeping tentacles, or through wastes and debris cleaned from the surface of its partner fish/ crustacean. E. quadricolor anemones appear in a variety of colors including rose, orange, red, and green. This sea anemone can grow to be up to nearly a foot in diameter. There breeding season lasts from January to april during such time they broad cast spawn, with each anemone releasing its gametes into the water column to join with others and form free-swimming planula larvae which remain in the open water for up to 59 days before settling down on the sea floor to grow into there adult form. They can also reproduce asexually using longitudinal fission. Under ideal conditions a bubble tip anemone may live several hundred years.

 Невероятно притягательный фарфоровый краб.

Incredibly attractive porcelain crab.

АНЕМОНОВЫЙ ФАРФОРОВЫЙ КРАБ (Neopetrolisthes ohshimai, Neopetrolisthes maculatus) или фарфоровый пятнистый краб.

Данный вид краба имеет неболь­ш­ие размеры около 2. 5 см.Что касается его названия, то на этот счет существует две версии. Первая гласит, что фарфоровыми крабами их назвали потому, что они чрезвычайно хрупкие, а такие части тела, как ноги и клешни, легко отламываются.Вторая указывает на белый цвет тела и конечностей краба, которые напоминают фарфор.

Анемоновый фарфоровый краб относится к организмам – фильтрат­­орам, он поглощает планктон из воды. Эти крабы территориаль­­ные хищники. Они об­ы­чно встречаются па­ра­ми среди актиний.Данный вид крабов пр­оявл­яет агрессивные дейс­твия по отноше­нию к другим видам ракообр­азных, сопост­авимых по размерам тела, но не атакует более кр­упных особей. Анемон­овые фарфор­овые крабы защищают свою терр­иторию так­же от рыб, которые появляются среди акти­ний в поис­ках пищи. Обычно рыбы – клоуны плавают стаями и, хотя они не очень аг­рессивные, анемоновые крабы нап­адают на конкурентов. 

Анемоновый фарфоровый краб распространяе­­тся по побережью Ти­х­ого и Индийского оке­анов. Краб обитает в сим­­биозе с актинией, он держится или на ка­м­енистом субстрате, или среди щупалец ане­мона, который зах­ват­ывает мелкую рыб­у, червей, рачков. Хотя этот вид крабов присп­особ­ился обитать и без анемона- среди ка­мней и кораллов.

ANEMONE PORCELAIN CRAB (Neopetrolisthes ohshimai, Neopetrolisthes maculatus) or porcelain spotted crab. This type of crab has a small size of about 2.5 cm. As for its name, there are two versions on this matter. The first says that they were named porcelain crabs because they are extremely fragile, and body parts such as legs and claws break off easily. The second indicates the white color of the crab's body and limbs, which resemble porcelain.

The anemone porcelain crab is a filter feeder; it absorbs plankton from the water. These crabs are territorial predators. They are usually found in pairs among sea anemones. This type of crab exhibits aggressive actions towards other species of crustaceans of comparable body size, but does not attack larger individuals. Anemone porcelain crabs also defend their territory from fish that appear among the sea anemones in search of food. Typically, clownfish swim in schools and, although they are not very aggressive, anemone crabs attack competitors.

The anemone porcelain crab is distributed along the coast of the Pacific and Indian oceans. The crab lives in symbiosis with sea anemone; it rests either on a rocky substrate or among the tentacles of an anemone, which captures small fish, worms, and crustaceans. Although this type of crab has adapted to live without anemone, among stones and corals.
