First record of the association between Lychnorhiza lucerna (Scyphozoa, Rhizostomeae) and Cyrtograpsus affinis (Decapoda, Varunidae)
We report the association between the jellyfish Lychnorhiza lucerna and the crab Cyrtograpsus affinis. Numerous examples of associations between medusae and brachyurans have been observed in the field and noted in the literature. All of these cases involve medusae of the Class Scyphozoa and crabs be...
