Note(s): A 2-year study consisting of quantitative and qualitative collections, both day (1974) and night (1975), was made on the decapod and stomatopod crustaceans inhabiting, or associating peripherally with, some sabellariid worm reefs on the central eastern Florida coast. The reefs investigated all occurred in the surf zone or just inside dredged and maintained inlets of the Indian River region, from St. Lucie Inlet northward to Sebastian Inlet. Quantitative and qualitative sampling indicated that at least 96 species of decapod and stomatopod crustaceans, in 52 genera and 22 families, may occur within, or in habitats adjacent to, the sabellariid biotope.
