Dardanus biordines [Dardanus biordines]
Description
Like other Dardanus species, this hermit crab is typically found on or near the seafloor, where it patrols for food and checks potential shell options. Divers often encounter it as a small, cautious mover—pause, look for subtle shell-and-claw movements, and you may catch it in the act of feeding.
