Anapagurus hyndmanni (Bell, 1845)
Anapagurus hyndmanni grows to a maximum size of 1 cm and is usually found in the intertidal zone up to a depth of around 35m. But it was also found at a depth of 200m. The hermit lives from mud, sand and gravel.
The right claw is much larger than the left ones and whitish. The antennae are three times as long as the eyestalk.
Anapagurus hyndmanni is host to the parasite Peltogasterella sulcata (Lilljeborg, 1859).
Possibility of confusion: Anapagurus hyndmanni differs from other members of the genus in that the antenna is three times as long as the eyestalk and the right scissors are almost hairless.
