Hermit crab in it's shell under glass bell jar - Dardanus megistos
Hermit crabs, whose morphology recalls crabs, usually have a soft abdomen devoid of a shell. Therefore, to protect themselves, they occupy shelters often formed by shells.
These species change shells regularly. They are also distinguished by the fact that they have a larger and more powerful right clamp than their left clamp. Thanks to this morphology, they can effectively protect themselves from an unwanted entry into their shell.
This is a hermit crab Dardanus megistos that comes from the lagoons of the Indo-Pacific zone.
The hermit crab is surrounded by barnacles - Balanus perforatus.
Barnacles are fixed, stalkless marine cone-shaped crustaceans found in coastal areas of the warm temperate Atlantic Ocean.
