Hemisquilla australiensis is a species of mantis shrimp native to Australia [1] and also found in New Zealand. [2]
Ovalipes is a genus of crabs in the family Ovalipidae, containing 11 extant species:
Trypaea australiensis, known as the (marine) yabby or ghost nipper in Australia, or as the one-arm bandit due to their occasional abnormally large arm, and as the Australian ghost shrimp elsewhere, is a common species of mud shrimp in south-eastern Australia, and may be the only extant species in the genus Trypaea. T. australiensis is a popular bait used live or frozen by Australians targeting a range of species. It grows to a length of 6 centimetres (2.4 in) and lives in burrows in mudflats or sandbanks, especially in or near estuaries.
Carcharias is a genus of mackerel sharks belonging to the family Odontaspididae. Once bearing many prehistoric species, all have gone extinct with the exception of the critically endangered sand tiger shark.
Eurysquillidae is a family of mantis shrimp. Formerly placed in the superfamily Gonodactyloidea, it has since been recognised that eurysquillids are closer to families in the Squilloidea, and so Eurysquillidae has been placed in its own superfamily, Eurysquilloidea. The family was first described in 1977 by Raymond Manning.
Ovalipes australiensis is a species of crab found in southern Australia. Its range extends from Western Australia to Queensland, including Tasmania. It is fished commercially and recreationally, although it is not as important as the blue swimmer or mud crab.
Verticordiidae is a family of benthic marine bivalves in the superorder Anomalodesmata. These clams range from 2 - 200 millimeters in length and are mainly found in coastal waters surrounding Australia and the Americas, though a few species within this family such as Haliris mediopacifica are found in the middle of the ocean. Verticordiidae is known for being a family of septibranchs, or predatory bivalves, rather than filter feeders. Clams dig vertical burrows in substrate and use papillae around the edges of their inhalant siphons to detect microscopic prey. Some clams in this family, specifically in the genus Trigonulina, have distinct extended circular formations on their shells.
Lybia is a genus of small crabs in the family Xanthidae. Their common names include boxer crabs, boxing crabs and pom-pom crabs. They are notable for their mutualism with sea anemones, which they hold in their claws for defense. In return, the anemones get carried around, which may enable them to capture more food particles with their tentacles. Boxer crabs use at least three species of anemones, including Bundeopsis spp. and Triactis producta. The bonding with the anemone is not needed for survival, however, and boxer crabs have frequently been known to live without them, sometimes substituting other organisms such as sponges and corals for the sea anemones.
Cribrarula cribraria, the 'sieve/tan and white cowry', is a species of sea snail, a cowry, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cypraeidae, the cowries.
Stellaria chinensis is a species of large sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Xenophoridae, the carrier shells.
Spintheridae is a family of marine polychaete worms with a single genus, Spinther, containing these species:
Lybia australiensis is a species of small crab in the family Xanthidae. It is known only from the type specimen, collected in 1928 among bryozoans at Port Jackson, New South Wales.
Balanoglossus australiensis is a species of 20 centimetres (7.9 in) long acorn worm in Ptychoderidae family which can be found in Gulf of Carpentaria, New Zealand, Australian cities such as Hawkesbury and Manning as well as Solomon Archipelago and its sea. Their habitat consists of 8–10 inches (200–250 mm) deep sandy burrows where they feed on Ubius species.
Diadumene is a genus of sea anemones. It is the only genus in the monotypic family Diadumenidae.
Allorbimorphus is a genus of Isopoda parasites, in the family Bopyridae, containing the following species that can be found on the coasts of Australia, and Asia:
Cephalodiscus australiensis is a sessile hemichordate belonging to the order Cephalodiscida.
Diaphanosoma is a genus of Sididae.
Hemisquilla is a genus of mantis shrimp, and the only genus in the family Hemisquillidae. It contains four species distributed in Australia and the Americas. Species in the genus typically eat snails, fish, rock oysters, and smaller crustaceans like crabs. They are preyed upon by larger bony fishes and cephalopods. It is the most basal living mantis shrimp lineage, and the sister group to all other mantis shrimp.
Hemisquilla braziliensis is a species of mantis shrimp native to South America.
Hemisquilla californiensis is a species of mantis shrimp native to the northern Pacific Ocean. H. californiensis is known for smashing prey against rocks using its raptorial claws, as well as its brightly colored telson and eyespots under the tail. H. californiensis is one of the largest and most common mantis shrimp species in California. H. californiensis is one of three subspecies of H. ensigera.
Hemisquilla ensigera is a species of mantis shrimp. Two formerly recognized subspecies are now considered to be separate species.
