Periclimenes dardanicola chiefly white, with red along the edges of the carapace and the abdominal somites. The legs are transparent yellow, with red bands. "P. dardanicola" is associated with the sea anemone "Calliactis", which is carried by hermit crabs of the genus "Dardanus", including "Dardanus arrosor", "D. crassimanus", "D. lagopodes" and "D. pedunculatus". This is one of the few examples of ecological associations between two species of decapod crustaceans. Specimens of "Periclimenes dardanicola" have been collected from various locations in the western Pacific Ocean, namely Suruga Bay (Japan), Vietnam, and Borneo (Indonesia). Although only formally described in 2006, this species has been
Hermit (hummingbird) dimorphism usually associated with hummingbirds; green hermit is an exception to this rule. Hermits in the type genus, "Phaethornis", have a long decurved bill (three species, "P. koepkeae", "P. philippii" and "P. bourcieri", with virtually straight bills) with a red or yellow base to the lower mandible, and their two central tail feathers are elongated and tipped with white, buff or ochre. The crown of the head is flat, and two pale facial stripes enclose a dusky mask. Most hermits are restricted to the edge and undergrowth of forest, woodland and second growth, but some species (e.g. the planalto hermit)
