title = "The soft-coral associated pistol shrimp Synalpheus neomeris (De Man) (Decapoda: Alpheidae) defends its host against nudibranchs in Okinawa, Japan",
abstract = "The present study provides the first detailed observations of mutualism between the pistol shrimp Synalpheus neomeris (De Man, 1897), and its host, the soft coral Dendronephthya hyalina K{\"u}kenthal, 1905 in Okinawa, Japan. The host-defensive behaviour of S. neomeris against two soft coral predators, the nudibranchs Tritonia sp. and Dermatobraunchus caeruleomaculatus Gosliner & Fahey, 2011, is documented for the first time, based on aquarium and field observations.",
