Abstract/Description
Ovigerous females of Synalpheus fritzmuelleri, S . minu s , and S. pectiniger were taken from Phragmatopoma (wormrock) colonies and sponges offshore from Bear Cut, Miami and at Boca Raton and Deerfield Beach, Florida. First stage zoeal forms were obtained and different foods, temperatures, and antibiotics were utilized in attempts to rear the larvae to metamorphosis. All three zoeal forms hatched with a large supply of yolk and molted within two hours of hatching. S. fritzmuelleri larvae were...

First stage zoeal forms were obtained and different foods, temperatures, and antibiotics were utilized in attempts to rear the larvae to metamorphosis. All three zoeal forms hatched with a large supply of yolk and molted within two hours of hatching. S. fritzmuelleri larvae were translucent with red chromatophores scattered over the carapace and abdominal somites. All three forms differed in size; S. fritzmuelleri was smallest and S. minus largest. S. minus died in the fourth stage, while both S. pectiniger and S. fritzmuelleri survived until the fifth stage. Pleopod buds were absent from all larval stages. All zoeae obtained were described, illustrated, and compared to each other.
