Pagurus prideaux

Leach, 1815


Andrew Cleave Pagurus prideaux and Adamsia carcionopados. These lively Hermit Crabs often perch on a small rock or shell and seem to favour areas with a good tidal flow where food is swept towards them. The anemone sometimes accumulates sand and other debris and does not look as colourful as clean specimens. Tean Sound, Scilly.

Claretta Spada Very nice
