Hemimysis lamornae is a small crustacean that lives in shallow waters at a depth of between 5 and 20 metres.

Distribution

[edit]

Hemimysis lamornae is found in the North Sea, Baltic Sea, Mediterranean Sea, and Black Sea.

Description

[edit]

Hemimysis lamornae is bright red or orange and grows to a size of about 8 to 10 mm. They feed primarily on sedimentary organic matter and small crustaceans. They reproduce sexually and females carry the eggs on the underside of their bodies before they hatch.[1]
