Ancylomenes

Ancylomenes is a genus of shrimp, erected in 2010 to accommodate the group of species around "Periclimenes aesopius" (now Ancylomenes aesopius).[1] Members of the genus are widely distributed in the warm oceans of the world, and live in association with cnidarians;[2] most are cleaner shrimp.[1]
