REPORT OF COMMENSAL INTERACTION BETWEEN Lepas (Lepas) anatifera LINNAEUS, 1758 (CIRRIPEDIA: LEPADIDAE) AND Stenocionops furcatus (OLIVIER, 1791) (DECAPODA: EPIALTIDAE), COLLECTED IN A MARINE PROTECTED AREA IN NORTHEASTERN BRAZIL

We report the first documented occurrence worldwide of the goose barnacle Lepas (Lepas) anatifera Linnaeus, 1758 as an epibiont on the furcate spider crab Stenocionops furcatus. A male furcate spider crab was collected at a depth of 100 meters off the coast of Pernambuco, Brazil. We observed five individuals of L. (Lepas) anatifera attached to the crab, representing a new commensal association. This finding improves knowledge about marine biodiversity and highlights the dispersal potential of L. (Lepas) anatifera. It also emphasizes the importance of monitoring epibiotic interactions to assess their effects on host organisms. Further research is recommended to explore the ecological implications and adaptive strategies of this relationship.
