Dardanus callichela [Dardanus callichela]
Description
This hermit crab is a bottom-dweller that divers may encounter crawling along the substrate, often near areas with plenty of shells and hiding spots. With a careful eye, you can observe its slow, deliberate movements and the way it keeps its shell positioned as it navigates the seafloor.
