Calcinus anani Poupin & McLaughlin, 1998

Calcinus anani is typically found rather deep on the seaward reef. The first two photos show an individual that was under a rock at about 20m depth.

The next one was clinging to a steep wall in about 50m. The juvenile Septa rubecula shell it occupied measured around 15-20mm.

Thanks to Eiji Myorin for the correct ID.
