A sand hopper is a small amphipod which lives on the strandline of a beach, near the sea but not close enough to be submerged. It burrows into the sand during the day so it does not dry out and to keep away from predators, and it emerges at night to feed. It eats detritus such as washed up seaweed and dead plants and animals. It breaks these down using bacteria, and the nutrients are then passed to plants such as filter feeders as particulate organic matter (POM) or as dissolved organic matter (DOM) to phytoplankton. In this way it is very useful at nutrient recycling. It has two antenna, one shorter than the other, and is greyish yellow. It is flattened ventrally, up to 2cms in size, and has large legs at the back which it uses to leap when it is in danger. It will continue to leap until it reaches a safe place, which is how it got its name. It is also called the beach flea for this reason. Some species may live in the sea, or in estuaries and rivers, and some may be free swimming.
