Description[edit][edit]

[edit]

S. seticornis off Hispaniola

The body of S. seticornis is triangular, and the rostrum is drawn out into a long point with serrate edges. The legs are also long and thin, up to 10 cm (3.9 in) across, and the animal's carapace may be up to 6 cm (2.4 in) long. Colouration is variable in this species; the body may be golden, yellow or cream, marked with brown, black or iridescent-blue lines; the legs are reddish or yellow, and the claws are blue or violet. This species presents as diagnostic features: triangular body with long pointed snout (rostrum), carapace decorated with fine dark lines and claws often have violet tips. S. seticornis is most commonly associated with anemones, in groups ranging from one to six individuals in south-eastern Brazil.

  • Is the bold what you will be replacing the description with or adding to it?  If adding, make sure it is not redundant – as I feel like I am reading the description twice.  I do like the new content added through.  Does i mean that S. seticornis is could be part of a colony?

Distribution[edit][edit]

[edit]

Stenorhynchus seticornis is commonly found in the shallow subtidal on rock bottoms, corals, calcareous algae, and also on soft sediments, such as shelly gravel and sand. Its geographical distribution is restricted to the Occidental Atlantic, from North Carolina to Argentina. It is found in the western Atlantic Ocean, from North Carolina and Bermuda to Brazil, including throughout the Caribbean Sea,. It lives on coral reefs at depths of 10–30 feet (3.0–9.1 m).

  • Add link to Occidental.

Ecology and behaviour[edit][edit]

[edit]

S. seticornis is nocturnal and territorial. It eats small feather duster worms and other coral reef invertebrates. This crab is commonly kept in reef aquariums to control bristle worm populations.

S. seticornis is one of a number of different invertebrates that are found living in association with the sea anemone, Lebrunia danae. It is often found among the anemone's pseudotentacles along with Pederson's cleaning shrimp (Ancylomenes pedersoni) and the spotted cleaner shrimp (Periclimenes yucatanicus).

Symbiotic Relationships[edit]

[edit]

There is a considerable number of reports on cleaning symbiosis among (S. seticornis and) reef fish, moray eels, and squirrelfish. This is a somewhat unexpected relationship as moray eels and squirrelfish can be considered dangerous clients as crabs are important elements of their diets. This behavior has only been observed in the natural environment in Brazilian waters but it is believed that this behavior also exists throughout its distribution.

  • See suggestion, not in bold

Life cycle & Reproduction[edit][edit]

[edit]

During mating, the male places a spermatophore on the female, which she uses to fertilise her eggs. These fertilised eggs are then carried on the female's pleopods until they are ready to hatch into zoea larvae. These (larvae) swim towards the ocean surface and feed on plankton. They grow through a series of moults, and eventually metamorphose into the adult form. When mature, the spermatozoa of S. seticornis show five lateral arms, similar to the sperm morphology of Inachus phalangium.

Male Reproductive System[edit]

[edit]


Female Reproductive System[edit]

[edit]


  • I like your topic additions here, perhaps move them ahead of the Life Cycle, so it can lead into Reproduction after the explanations of the systems indivuidially.

Taxonomic history[edit][edit]

[edit]

Stenorhynchus seticornis was first described by Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Herbst in 1788, under the name Cancer seticornis. It was also described as "Cancer sagittarius" by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1793, a name which is now a junior synonym of S. seticornis. Pierre André Latreille erected the genus Stenorhynchus (originally mis-spelt Stenorynchus) in 1818, and S. seticornis was confirmed as the type species by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature in 1966.

  • Perhaps add a Taxonomy table to show this information in a more organized fashion.  Too wordy. Move up further, perhaps under Description.

Overall impressions

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete?
    • Yes, looks like some editing is being done, adding a few bits of information, as well as reorganizing the flow of the page. New content being added will aid in the overall flow of the article.
  • What are the strengths of the content added?
    • Reproductive systems of both male and female, and how they work into the flow of the life stages of the species. Also, taxonomy is important and crucial in describing this species.
  • How can the content added be improved?
    • Perhaps a bit more information in the Lead, but the way that it is currently is just fine. Some of those reference links on the main article will really need to be cleaned up and some formatted appropriately.

Overall evaluation

[edit]

Overall, I like the additions that are being made, I like the flow idea for the article. It will add additional, important information, that will aid supporting in the very first lead sentence:

"Arrow crab" redirects here. For another species known by the same common name, see Hyastenus bispinosus.
