Pandalus lucidirimicola, the sparkling shrimp, is a species of caridean shrimp in the family Pandalidae. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
It was originally described in the genus Pandalopsis, which has since been synonymized with Pandalus. [6] [2] The species epithet, lucidirimicola, is derived from the Latin words lucid (glittering) and rimicola (crevice-dweller). [2]
The species has a distinctive red or purple striping, and many reflective white or yellowish dots; their extremities are typically whitish. [2]
The species is found along the coasts of Washington and British Columbia. [2]
Juveniles of this species have been reported associating with the red sea urchin (Mesocentrotus franciscanus). [2] The species is believed to be a protandric hermaphrodite. [2]
