A review of cnidarian epibionts on marine crustacea
Abstract An updated inventory of the cnidarian species living as epibionts on Crustacea was conducted. Cnidarian species that attach themselves to gastropod shells of hermit crabs were also considered. One hundred and forty-eight species of cnidaria were included, with similar numbers of hydrozoans and anthozoans.

Epibionts and intermoult duration in the crab Bathynectes piperitus
Crustacean carapaces act as semipermanent hard substrata and can provide useful information on moulting and other biological characteristics of the host. The patterns of epibiosis on the portunid crab Bathynectes piperitus were studied from samples collected by trawling off southern Namibia between September 1987 and December 1988.
