Hippolytidae is a family of cleaner shrimp, also known as broken-back shrimp or anemone shrimp. The term "broken-back shrimp" also applies to the genus Hippolyte in particular and "cleaner shrimp" is sometimes applied exclusively to Lysmata amboinensis.
Taxonomy
Formerly, the circumscription of the family Hippolytidae included several additional taxa that have now been transferred to Bythocariidae, Lysmatidae, Merguiidae, and Thoridae.[1][2] As of June, 2023, there are 16 genera recognised in the family Hippolytidae sensu stricto:[3]
