Small hermit crab

Diogenes pugilator

Description:

The meaning of the scientific name is very nice: Diogenes because he lives in a shell and pugilator because it has a larger clip than the other and seems to carry a shield fighter.

Habitat:

On the rocky Mediterranean coast of El Gorguel (Cartagena. Murcia)

Notes:

I found this hermit in the Mediterranean Sea. I have another hermit Diogenes pugilator spotting in the salty lagoon of the Mar Menor.
