Diogenes pugilator is a species of hermit crab, sometimes called the small hermit crab[1] or south-claw hermit crab.[2] It is found from the coast of Angola to as far north as the North Sea, and eastwards through the Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea and Red Sea. Populations of D. pugilator may be kept in check by the predatory crab Liocarcinus depurator.[3]
