Description: Hermit crab searching for food in disturbed sediment. P. prideaux has a symbiotic relationship with the anemone Adamsia carciniopados, which it carries on its shell. The anemone offers protection while gaining food from the crab’s feeding. The anemone's tentacles can be seen in this video underneath the crab's shell.
At Lancaster P. prideaux were found at a density of 0.11 individuals meter squared Item Type: Video Title: Hermit crab Copyright: SERPENT Project Species: Pagurus prideaux, Adamsia carciniopados Behaviour: feeding Site: Atlantic -- North Sea -- West of Shetland -- LancasterNorth Sea -- West of Shetland -- Lancaster Site Description: Seafloor Depth (m): 155 Latitude: 60 deg 11' 13" N Longitude: 3 deg 51' 18" W Countries: UK -- West of Shetland Habitat: benthic Rig: Byford Dolphin Project Partners: Hurricane Exploration (HEX), Senergy, Fugro ROV: Fugro Deposited By: Dr Andrew Gates Deposited On: 01 December 2009
