Figure 1. Dorsal views of Hemigrapsus sanguineus with colonies of Conopeum tenuissimum and other ectosymbionts, collected intertidally in New Jersey. (A) Female (27.4 mm CW; first left walking leg missing) with several colonies on the carapace and on the pereopods. Arrow shows a large colony of Alcyonidium albescens covering the left posterior quadrant of the carapace. (B) Female (26.1 mm CW; same crab with mussels under abdomen, Figure 2) showing Conopeum tenuissimum colony spanning the left hepatic-branchial region of the carapace, a small medial colony and a colony in the right hepatic region, plus numerous colonies on the pereopods. (C) Male (18.5 mm CW) with a single colony of Conopeum tenuissimum covering more than half of the carapace, with some smaller colonies on the pereopods. (D) Female (24.9 mm CW; left cheliped missing) with four colonies of Conopeum tenuissimum on the carapace, two in hepatic and two in branchial areas. Barnacle is Semibalanus balanoides. : Published as part of Mcdermott, John J., 2007, Ectosymbionts of the non-indigenous Asian shore crab, Hemigrapsus sanguineus (Decapoda: Varunidae), in the western north Atlantic, and a search for its parasites, pp. 2379-2396 in Journal of Natural History 41 (37-40) on page 2383, DOI: 10.1080/00222930701630691, http://zenodo.org/record/5233101
