Abstract

The first record of a bivalve-inhabiting hydrozoan Eugymnanthea inquilina was found in Thermaikos Gulf, north Aegean Sea, eastern Mediterranean Sea, associated with Mytilus galloprovincialis. Analyses of biometric data point the same biological differences between the Mediterranean and the Japanese Eugymnanthea, as reported by previous researchers.
