Descreve-se para as águas açoreanas associações entre os caprelídeos Caprella stella e Phtisica marina (já encontrados em associação com estrelas-do-mar nos Açores) e o pepino-do-mar Holothuria tubulosa. Os caprelídeos foram encontrados em grandes grupos (mais que 20 indivíduos) na superfície do pepino-do-mar. Isto é o primeiro registo de uma associação entre caprelídeos e um pepino-do-mar.
ABSTRACT: Caprellid - holothurian associations are described from the Azores, north-eastern Atlantic. Caprella stella and Phtisica marina, previously encountered with starfish at the island of Faial, Azores, were recorded in large groups (more than 20 animals) on Holothuria tubulosa at Monte da Guia, Faial Island, Azores. This is the first description of an association between caprellids and a holothurian.
