ABSTRACT
In the tourist zone of the Puerto Arista Sanctuary and 70 meters inside the beach line, on the coast of the state of Chiapas, Mexico,
what is known as epibionts of a colony of the barnacle
Conchoderma virgatum (Spengler, 1790) was found attached to the caudal
section of a live pelagic sea snake,
Hydrophis platurus (Linnaeus, 1766). Twenty-three epibionts were counted, each with an average
length of 1.2 cm; the snake measured 61.97 cm in length and was subsequently relocated. The record is a novelty for the sanctuary
area and unusual to find it in the terrestrial environment.
