Ancylomenes pedersoni, sometimes known as Pederson's shrimp and Pederson's cleaner shrimp, is a species of cleaner shrimp.{{cite journal |author1=Becker, Justine |author2=Grutter, Alexander |title=Cleaner shrimp do clean |journal=Coral Reefs |volume=23 |year=2004 |pages=515–520 |doi=10.1007/s00338-004-0429-3 |s2cid=8393249 }}{{cite journal |author1=Becker, Justine |author2=Curtis, Lynda |author3=Grutter, Alexander |title= Cleaner shrimp use a rocking dance to advertise cleaning service to clients|year=2005|journal=Current Biology |volume=15 |issue=8 |pages=760–764 |pmid=15854910 |doi=10.1016/j.cub.2005.02.067|doi-access=free }} It is part of the genus Ancylomenes and was described in 1958 by Fenner A.

Description

Pederson's shrimp is a small transparent shrimp with bluish and violet markings on the body and long white antennae and within its range is unlikely to be confused with other species.{{cite book |title=Marine Invertebrates and Plants of the Living Reef |last=Colin |first=Patrick L. |year=1978 |publisher=T.F.H.

Ecology

Pederson's shrimp lives in association with a sea anemone, either Bartholomea annulata or Condylactis gigantea, living among the tentacles with impunity. Before it can do this it needs to acclimatise itself to the anemone by progressively pressing its body and appendages against the tentacles for increasing periods of time. After this it is able to move between the tentacles without getting stung but if it is separated from its host for a few days, it will need to repeat the immunizing procedure. Up to 26 shrimps have been found associated with one sea anemone but usually there are just one or two. The shrimp offers cleaning services to passing fish and attracts their attention by lashing its antennae about. Fish visiting the cleaning station will remain stationary while their external parasites are removed and eaten by the shrimp, which even cleans inside the gill covers and the mouth. If a neon goby sets up a cleaning station nearby, the shrimp will clean the client fish at the same time as the goby does. Researchers have shown that fish recognise the sea anemone Bartholomea annulata as being a place at which the shrimps' services are likely to be available. The larger the sea anemone, the more likely fish are to visit it.{{cite journal |author1=Huebner, L. K. |author2=Chadwick, N.
