Pagurodofleinia is a monotypic genus of hermit crab. The only species is Pagurodofleinia doederleini.[1] The species lives in the deep Pacific sea-floor of Japan at depths of 100 to 400 meters.[2] It lives in a symbiotic relationship with a carcinoecium-forming sea anemone called Stylobates calcifer. Stylobates calcifer rest on top of Pagurodofleinia deoderleini where it forms a thin shell around Pagurodofleinia doederlenini.[3]
