Five new blanket-hermit crab species described 130 years later from the Pacific

Five new blanket-hermit crab species described 130 years later from the Pacific Unlike most hermit crabs, the blanket-hermit crab does not use empty shells for protection, and instead lives symbiotically with a sea anemone. The crab uses the anemone to cover its soft abdomen, and can pull the anemone's tissue over its head to protect itself whenever necessary. Since 1888, this crab had been considered a unique species until a research team recently described five new ones and a new genus. https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
