Alima maxima is a species of shrimp in the Squillidae family, and was first described in 2002 by Shane Ahyong. [1] [2]
It is a benthic, tropical shrimp and found at depths from 95 - 188 m in the Eastern Central Pacific. [3]
Squat lobsters are dorsoventrally flattened crustaceans with long tails held curled beneath the cephalothorax. They are found in the two superfamilies Galatheoidea and Chirostyloidea, which form part of the decapod infraorder Anomura, alongside groups including the hermit crabs and mole crabs. They are distributed worldwide in the oceans, and occur from near the surface to deep sea hydrothermal vents, with one species occupying caves above sea level. More than 900 species have been described, in around 60 genera. Some species form dense aggregations, either on the sea floor or in the water column, and a small number are commercially fished.
Stenopus hispidus is a shrimp-like decapod crustacean belonging to the infraorder Stenopodidea. Common names include coral banded shrimp and banded cleaner shrimp.
Crangonidae is a family of shrimp, of the superfamily Crangonoidea, including the commercially important species Crangon crangon. Its type genus is Crangon. Crangonid shrimps' first pair of pereiopods have partially chelate claws that they use to capture their prey. They burrow shallowly into sediment on the sea floor, and feed on bivalves, crustaceans, polychaetes, and some small fish.
Palaemonidae is a family of shrimp in the order Decapoda. Many species are carnivores that eat small invertebrates, and can be found in any aquatic habitat except the deep sea. One significant genus is Macrobrachium, which contains commercially fished species. Others inhabit coral reefs, where they associate with certain invertebrates, such as sponges, cnidarians, mollusks, and echinoderms, as cleaner shrimps, parasites, or commensals. They generally feed on detritus, though some are carnivores and hunt tiny animals.
Squillidae is a family of mantis shrimp, the only family in the superfamily Squilloidea. The type genus is Squilla. It is the stomatopod family with the most genera, as follows:
Acanthosquilla is a genus of stomatopod crustacean. The American carcinologist Raymond B. Manning named and first circumscribed the genus in 1963. As of 2018, the World Register of Marine Species recognizes the following eight species:
Acanthosquilla derijardi is a species of stomatopod crustacean. Its distribution is widespread throughout the Indo-West Pacific. The species was initially described by the American carcinologist Raymond B. Manning in 1970. Its junior synonym, A. sirindhorn, was named in 1995 in honor of Princess Sirindhorn of Thailand.
Miyakella is a genus of shrimps belonging to the family Squillidae. It is a replacement name for Miyakea Manning, 1995 which was pre-occupied.
Heterosquilla is a genus of shrimps belonging to the family Tetrasquillidae.
Clorida is a genus of shrimps belonging to the family Squillidae.
Pariliacantha is a genus of mantis shrimp containing a single species, Pariliacantha georgeorum. The genus and species were first described by Shane T. Ahyong in 2012.
Lithodes aoteoroa is a species of king crab in the family, Lithodidae, and was first described in 2010 by Shane T. Ahyong.
Erugosquilla septemdentata is a species of shrimp in the family, Squillidae, and was first described in 1994 by Shane T. Ahyong as Oratosquilla septemdentata. The name was revised to Erugosquilla septemdentata in 1995 by Raymond B. Manning.

Alima is a genus of shrimps belonging to the family Squillidae, and was first described in 1817 by William Elford Leach.
Alima neptuni is a species of shrimp in the Squillidae family, and was first described in 1768 by Carl Linnaeus as Cancer neptuni.
Alima pacifica is a species of shrimp in the Squillidae family, and was first described in 2001 by Shane Ahyong.
Acanthosquilla melissae is a species of stomatopod crustacean in the Nannosquillidae family, and was first described by the Australian carcinologist Shane T. Ahyong in 2007.
Athanas sydneyensis is a species of small alpheid shrimp.
Alain raymondi is a species of crab in the Pinnotheridae family. It was first described in 2008 by Ahyong and Peter Ng. The species epithet, raymondi, honours Ray Manning.
