Synalpheus regalis is a species of snapping shrimp that commonly live in sponges in the coral reefs along the tropical West Atlantic. They form a prominent component of the diverse marine cryptofauna of the region. For the span of their entire lives, they live in the internal canals of the host sponge, using it as a food resource and shelter. It has been shown that colonies contain over 300 individuals, but only one reproductive female. Also, larger colony members, most of which apparently never breed, defend the colony against heterospecific intruders. This evidence points towards the first known case of eusociality in a marine animal.

  • Synalpheus regalis is a species of snapping shrimp that commonly live in sponges in the coral reefs along the tropical West Atlantic. They form a prominent component of the diverse marine cryptofauna of the region. For the span of their entire lives, they live in the internal canals of the host sponge, using it as a food resource and shelter. It has been shown that colonies contain over 300 individuals, but only one reproductive female. Also, larger colony members, most of which apparently never breed, defend the colony against heterospecific intruders. This evidence points towards the first known case of eusociality in a marine animal. The species name "regalis" comes from the Latin regalis which means royal. This likely stems from the structural hierarchy of the colonies in which only a single female produces all of the offspring. (en)

  • O Camarão-esponja ou camarão-de-estalo (Synalpheus regalis) são pequenos camarões que se comportam como abelhas e formigas, que vivem em uma colônia e têm "castas" de trabalhadores, soldados e uma rainha. Tal comportamento só foi descoberto em 1996, e não é conhecido em qualquer outro animal marinho. Existem pelo menos cerca de 100 espécies de camarões dentro deste gênero, três dos quais têm esta maneira eusocial de vida. Só foram descobertos no Caribe, na costa de Belize. Não é considerada uma espécie ameaçada. (pt)
