Periclimenes imperator. — Fransen & Goud, 2000: 273 –283, figures 1–4.:
Material examined. 3 juv., MAP202, ST119, 12°42.434’N 53°37.605’E, off Madinah, N coast, 17–18 m, 29 March 1999, 2 spms SMF 29213, 1 spm NHCY.
Host: Unidentified holothurian (Holothuria, Echinodermata).
Regional records: Not previously reported in the north western Indian Ocean.
General distribution: Type locality:: Chumbe Island, Zanzibar. Found on IndoWest Pacific coral reefs from the northern Red Sea to the Hawaiian Islands in association with nudibranchs and holothurians.
Remarks: Associated with a variety of holothurian genera as adults and also with a variety of nudibranch hosts, often as juveniles. The specimens are morphologically typical of this species. A wide variety of colour patterns exist in life in this species, mainly variations of red and yellow/white, which suggests that a complex of sibling species may exist, one of which may be Periclimenes rex Kemp 1922, with separate host associations.
