Hi all,
As long as we are beating polychaete/terebellid parasites to death, has
anyone noted pinnotherid crabs with such hosts, facultative or obligatory? I
worked with a number of pinnixids in the Friday Harbor area, and at least
three spp., P. eburna, occidentalis, and schmitti, occurred with different
polychaete spp.
I would appreciate reports on such observations.
