| | Gemmules, reproductive structures that can survive adverse conditions such as desiccation or extreme cold, are not typically produced by marine sponges. | | | McCormack and Kelly, studying ribosomal DNA of Florida hermit crab sponges and making comparisons with other sponges showed that the sponge is indeed a suberitid sponge like all the other hermit crab sponges know from elsewhere in the world, albeit a suberitid with atypical spicules (oxeas rather than tylostyles). | | | Their work resulted in the sponge being transferred into the sponge family Suberitidae and in its being given a new name Pseudospongosorites suberitoides. |

| | Classification within the crabs is traditionally based on the position of the gonopores: whether they are found on the legs or on the thorax. | | | In those species in which no such dimorphism is found, the position of the gonopores must be used instead. | | | Crabs are a very diverse group, mostly found in salt water, but with some groups living in freshwater or on land. |

| | Like many other Crustacea, crabs are often omnivorous and act as the scavengers of the sea, but many are predatory in their habits and some are content with a vegetable diet. | | | The crabs of the family Portunidae, and some others, swim with great dexterity by means of their flattened paddle-shaped feet. | | | Many of the sluggish spider-crabs (Maiidae) have their shells covered~ by a forest of growing sea-weeds, zoophytes and sponges, which are planted there by the crab itself, and which afford it a very effective disguise. |
