Diogenes heteropsammicola is a species of hermit crab that lives within "walking corals" of the genera Heterocyathus and Heteropsammia.



These coral have an internal cavity that is typically occupied by a symbiotic sipunculan worm; in the crab's habitat in the Ōshima Straight south of Amami Ōshima, it is often found inside the corals instead. Igawa, M., & Kato, M. (n.d.). A new species of hermit crab, diogenes heteropsammicola (crustacea, decapoda, anomura, Diogenidae), replaces a mutualistic sipunculan in a walking coral symbiosis.
