Pagurus confragosus
From Natural History of Southeast Alaska
Knobby-hand hermit crab (Pagurus confragosus): The knobby-hand hermit crab is an exclusively subtidal species usually found below 50 meters depth. These are most often seen in southeast Alaska in Tanner crab and shrimp pots. The raised ridge on the right claw terminates in a rounded knobby apex near the base of the fingers of the claw rather than being pointed as seen in Horny-hand hermit crab (Pagurus cornutus).
