About this work
White-spotted hermit crab (Dardanus megistos), Anilao, Philippines. This species is present in the Indo-Pacific region from East Africa to the South China Sea, Australia and east to Hawaii and can reach a body length of about 20 cm (7.9 in). These crustaceans, that may live up to 30 years, usually inhabit a large shell of a gastropod, consequently only the cephalothorax and the first three pairs of legs (out of five pairs) are visible.
