AB  - Sponges  and  decapods  share  diverse  ecological  interactions,  including  epibiosis  in  which  sponges  colonize crab carapaces. We report three sponge species—Stelletta kallitetilla (Laubenfels, 1936), Hymeniacidon heliophila (Wilson,  1911),  and  Haliclona(Reniera)manglaris  Alcolado,  1984—on  the  decorator  crab  Macrocoelo-ma  nodipes  (Desbonne  in  Desbonne  &  Schramm,  1867)  collected  from  the  Campeche  Bank  (southern  Gulf  of  Mexico), presenting new records for Mexican waters. Our research highlights the importance of describing eco-logically  associated  species  and  offers  insights  into  the  presence  of  sponge  species  not  previously  reported  in  Mexico.
