 Already for a number of years the genus Periclimenesis is being revised by the removal of taxa into newly established
 genera and, in some case, some old genera are likely to be reinstated. It’s an ongoing process and the information on
 this might not be fully up-to-date. But it looks like the names of the next Periclimenes species are:
   Ancylomenes holthuisi (P. holthuisi)    Cuapetes kororensis (P. kororensis)
   Ancylomenes longicarpus (P. longicarpus)    Cuapetes tenuipes (P. tenuipes)
   Ancylomenes magnificus (P. magnificus)    Laomenes amboinensis (P. amboinensis)
   Ancylomenes sarasvati (P. sarasvati)    Laomenes cornutus (P. cornutus)
   Ancylomenes venustus (P. venustus)    Manipontonia psamathe (P. psamathe)
   Zenopontonia rex (P. imperator)    Zenopontonia soror (P. soror)

 

  Periclimenes is a Genus of the Subfamily Pontoniinae, see also the page Commensal shrimp

Zenopontonia Rex (formerly known as Periclimenes imperator) is probably the shrimp with the greatest variety of hosts.
They live commensally on all kinds of nudibranch, sea cucumbers and, less often, on sea stars.
On the Spanish dancer, it usually has a different colour than on other hosts. Mostly red, often with little white spots.
