Ancylomenes luteomaculatus, also known as the Yellow-Spotted Anemone Shrimp, lives on tube dwelling anemones such as Pachycerianthus sp. and several other species in the whole West Pacific and Japan.
They are translucent with yellow to golden and orange to reddish patches on the sides, yellow, red and white saddle marking on the abdominal hump, white claw arms with purple banding.
Etymology The specific epithet, luteomaculatus is coined from the Latin luteus meaning yellow and macula meaning a spot, in allusion to the beautiful golden-yellow spots scattered on the carapace and abdomen.
