Hermit Crabs (Superfamily Paguroidea)Observer
davemmdaveDescription
Each Black Nerite shell is home to the one species of hermit crab, and all such hermit crab homes seen by torch light on this nocturnal reef ramble at low tide (tide just starting to rise) bore at least one and usually two equally small sea anemones. I'll post those separately later. Home Beach Groper Bay.

Shell only. Found on a secluded rocky bay. Shell was wedged in between some rocks. As a tropical species I can only suggest that is has come down on the EAC, open to opinion.
