Clibanarius vittatus
Hermit crabs with striped legs living in mollusk shells.
Found along a seawall adjacent to shallow water.
A large number of these crabs had gathered in this location in the early morning. They began to disburse as I watched. Most were in Banded Tulip Shells, Cinctura lilium. The two larger shells in the second photo. The smaller shell in the second photo is a Crown Conch, Melongena corona. Both species of mollusks are abundant.
