[2] A broad, bright red stripe extends from the tip of the antennae, past the eyes, along the top of the carapace and back, to the tail, dividing where it reaches the paired uropods.
[3] The anemone mysid is found living in association with the sea anemone Bartholomea annulata in the Bahamas, the Lesser Antilles, the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and the eastern coasts of Mexico and Panama down to a depth of a few metres (yards).
The shrimps seem to be immune to the stinging cells known as cnidocytes that are found in rings and spirals on the tentacles.
[3] In the female anemone mysid, some of the thoracic legs are modified to form a brood pouch in which the eggs are carried until they hatch.
They then become planktonic and pass through several developmental stages before settling on the seabed, preferably in the vicinity of an anemone.
