Introduction
The Hippolytidae is a cosmopolitan shrimp family comprising 16 genera and over 100 species (extant taxa). Hippolytids are found almost exclusively in marine environments and are commonly associated with seagrass beds or seaweed. A number of species also inhabit coral reefs where they are either free living or symbiotic on other invertebrates. — John W. Short, 2026
