>A rare type of hermit crab has been rediscovered at a beach in Falmouth after a 30 year absence.
>The tiny crab, known only as clibanarius erythropus, has not been recorded in Cornish waters since 1985.
>It is a species found in warmer waters but can be found in the channel islands and along the French coast, according to Cornwall Wildlife Trust.
>The find at Castle Beach was made by an amateur photographer who was taking part in a survey run by the trust.
>More on this story and other news from Devon and Cornwall
>Local marine experts said the ten-legged crustacean was occasionally found on the south coast of Cornwall but since the Torrey Canyon oil spill in 1967 it had "virtually disappeared" from Cornish shores.
>They believe the discovery shows Cornwall's marine life may now have fully recovered from the environmental disaster.
>Clibanarius erythropus is from the Latin meaning soldier, clad in mail with red legs.
>Finding the tiny crab was "the icing on the cake" during a fruitful rockpooling survey, Matt Slater, marine awareness officer for Cornwall Wildlife Trust, said.
>"Spectacularly low tides and stunning weather provided a unique view of Cornwall's fabulous coastline exposing sections of the shore which you would normally only see with a snorkel.
>"We were all really excited by the find. Its scientific name is a bit of a mouthful so if anyone can think of a good name for the crab we would appreciate suggestions."
