Alima pacifica is a species of shrimp in the Squillidae family, and was first described in 2001 by Shane Ahyong. [1] [2]

It is a benthic shrimp and found in tropical waters off Indonesia and Australia. [3]


The developmental connection between the larval and adult form had not been fully confirmed despite the frequent presence of late stage larvae in the Alima pacifica species. However, in a 2013 research study led by Kathryn Feller [4] , DNA barcoding of the cytochrome oxidase, or COI, gene matched the larval state to the late-stage larvae, confirming some sort of evolutionary relationship between these larvae along with the Alima pacifica genus.
