Association of the amphipod Acidostoma neglectum Dahl with the anthozoan Peachia hastata Gosse

The first specimens from the west coast of Scotland of the lysianassid amphipod Acidostoma neglectum Dahl are recorded, and the distribution of this species is mapped. The two specimens, from Loch Ewe, Wester Ross, and Kames Bay, Millport, were collected in association with the anthozoan Peachia hastata Gosse, thus adding further evidence to support recent suggestions that members of the genus Acidostoma are ectoparasites of anthozoans.
