Anomura (20)

General description

Although the names of many anomurans includes the word crab, all true crabs are in the sister group to the Anomura, the Brachyura. Anomura is a group of decapod (meaning ten-legged) crustaceans, including hermit crabs and others, characterized by a small fifth pair of legs. The first pair are modified as claws and is often hidden inside the gill chamber (used for keeping the gills clean), and the remaining pairs are used for locomotion. Like most individuals of the class, they easily lose their [Further read]claws, which are as readily renewed. They are generally scavengers, living on decaying animal matter, though others live on vegetable substances.
