Remarks. Widespread in the western Atlantic, from Bermuda southwards to Espírito Santo, Brazil, including the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea ( Felder et al., 2009), with the present material representing new record for Panama. Although A. antiguensis has been recorded in older literature from a variety of habitats from the intertidal down to 118 m (summarised in Williams, 1984); all recent records, including the present ones, are based on specimens found in the oscula of larger sponges, suggesting that the species might be at least a facultative sponge associate.
