Spongicolidae is a family of glass sponge shrimp in the order Decapoda. There are about 8 genera and more than 40 described species in Spongicolidae. Apart from the shallows-dwelling genus Microprosthema, the family consists of glass sponge infauna (or inquiline), living within the body cavity of their sponge, presumably for life with a few other sponge shrimp. The sponge infaunal species most often inhabit Euplectella sponges, but can be found in Hyalonema sieboldii, Dactylocalyx pumiceus, Regradella phoenix, and R. okinosena.
