Diogenes heteropsammicola is a hermit crab species inhabiting "walking corals" from the Heterocyathus and Heteropsammia genera.



Diogenes heteropsammicola is a hermit crab species residing within "walking corals" from the genera Heterocyathus and Heteropsammia, commonly found in the Ōshima Straight south of Amami Ōshima. Unlike typical coral inhabitants, these walking corals often host a symbiotic sipunculan worm within their internal cavity, but in the habitat of this particular crab, it frequently occupies the corals instead.
