Undulating hermit crab [Dardanus undulatus]
Description
Dardanus undulatus can be found on the seafloor, where it uses its shell for protection while it searches for food. Divers may observe its steady, wave-like movement as it navigates uneven terrain, then quickly disappears into its shell when disturbed.
