Info

Pagurus arcuatus Squires, 1964

Pagurus is a genus of hermit crabs in the Paguridae family. Like other hermit crabs, their abdomen is soft, which is why they inhabit snail shells for protection. Members of the genus are omnivores, but mainly hunt small animals and eat carrion.

The Hairy Hermit Crab Pagurus arcuatus lives in intertidal, infralittoral and circumlittoral habitats and estuaries.
