Info
Tozeuma serratum is found from Massachusetts on the Gulf of Maine, east coast of the USA, via Barbados and Colombia to Brazil in South America.
This small shrimp lives on gorgonians and hydrozoans, often sharing the same gorgonian with the coral-eating egg snails of the genera Cymbovula and Cyphoma.
In addition, two other shrimp species, Leptogorgia sp., Neopontonides chacei, and Periclimenes iridescens, can be found on the same gorgonian.
Similar species: Neopontonides chacei Heard, 1986 and Periclimenes iridescens Lebour, 1949.
We would like to thank Pauline Walsh Jacobson for the first three photos of this species.
