EMPEROR SHRIMP ( Periclimenes imperator ) The emperor shrimp (Periclimenes imperator) is a species of shrimp with a wide distribution across the Indo-Pacific. It lives commensally on a number of hosts, including the sea slug Hexabranchus. A. J. Bruce first described it in 1967 based on eight specimens ranging from 4 millimetres (0.16 in) to 7.6 millimetres (0.30 in), and found Periclimenes rex to be its best resemblance. Emperor shrimp live in water up to 45 metres (148 ft) in depth, and can grow to a length of 1.9 centimetres (0.75 in).
