Spongicolidae is a family of glass sponge shrimp in the order Decapoda.
There are about 8 genera and more than 40 described species in Spongicolidae.
[1][2] Apart from the shallows-dwelling genus Microprosthema, the family consists of glass sponge infauna, living within the body cavity of the sponge, presumably for life with a few other sponge shrimp.
The sponge infaunal species most often inhabit Euplectella sponges, but can be found in Hyalonema sieboldii, Dactylocalyx pumiceus, Regradella phoenix, and R.
