Lysianassids are scavengers on muddy and sandy sediments in bays, the continental shelf
and the deep sea where they clean up the carcasses of dead fishes and invertebrates.
Feedback and queries should be sent to the Discovery Centre at Museum Victoria.
Please note, the Discovery Centre can help you only with questions about crustaceans from southeastern Australia. It can not advise on the care of pet hermit crabs or on crustaceans from other regions.
