Clibanarius erythropus species of hermit crab that lives in rockpools and sublittoral waters.[2] Mediterranean Sea , Black Sea and eastern Atlantic Ocean from the Azores to Brittany , the Channel Islands and as far north as the south Cornwall coast.[2] [3] [4] carapace length of 15 millimetres (0.6 in ).[2]

Ecology
[ edit ]
A variety of different gastropod shells are used by C. erythropus , the most frequent being Littorina striata Mitra Nassarius incrassatus Stramonita haemastoma Azores ;[5] Cerithium Alvania montagui Pisania maculosa C. erythropus .[6]
Like other hermit crabs, C. erythropus feeds on "organic debris, decayed and fresh macro-algae with associated fauna and epiphytic algal flora, small invertebrates, and macroscopic pieces of dead and live animal tissues".[3] C. erythropus individuals select substrates where they can cover large distances, and that globose shells allow them greater mobility than elongate ones.[3]
In popular culture
[ edit ]
In 2016 the BBC Springwatch C. erythropus and ran a competition to provide a vernacular name. The winning name was St Piran's crab , a process supported by National Trust West Cornwall and the Cornwall Wildlife Trust . Saint Piran is generally regarded as the patron saint of Cornwall, and was a hermit who survived being thrown into the sea.[7] [4]
