Abstract

The association betweenAcyrtus rubiginosus (Gobiesocidae),Clastotoechus vanderhorsti (Porcellanidae),Ophiothrix sp. (Ophiotrichidae) and their rock-boring hostEchinometra lucunter (Echinometridae) has been studied on the rocky shores of Santa Marta, Colombia. The three inhabitants of the sea urchin dwellings benefit from their cohabitation by receiving effective shelter from intertidal effects and from predators. The sea urchin, by contrast, seems neither to be benefitted nor harmed by the association.
