Hermit Crab Species Found Alive for First Time

A recent submarine dive turned up a species of hermit crab that was previously only known through dead, dried specimens procured more than a century ago.
The sub collected a few of the animals, known as Pylopagurus discoidalis, from the Caribbean and brought them back to an aquarium, where they were photographed. These are the first pictures of the live animals ever taken, said Rafael Lemaitre, a research zoologist at the Smithsonian Institute's National Museum of Natural History.
