It is found in all tropical seas with the exception of the eastern Pacific Ocean. [4]
The species was first described in 1768 by Linnaeus as Cancer neptuni. [2] [3] It was redescribed in 1893 by Robert Payne Bigelow as Squilla alba. [5] In 1986 Raymond Manning and Chanan Lewinsohn [1] assigned it to the genus Alima with the species name Alima neptuni, and synonymised A alba, and A. hyalina and various other shrimps with A. neptuni. [5] In 1998 Joseph Poupin described it as Alima alba. [5] [6] The most recent description (as A. neptuni) was in 2002 by Shane Ahyong. [5] [4]
