A hermit crab is classified as benthos because it primarily resides on the ocean floor, where it lives among rocks, sand, and other substrates. Unlike plankton, which drift in the water column, or nekton, which are active swimmers like fish, hermit crabs are bottom-dwelling creatures that scavenge for food.
