Anomura (sometimes Anomala) is a group of decapod crustaceans, including hermit crabs and others. Although the names of many anomurans includes the word crab, all true crabs are in the sister group to the Anomura, the Brachyura (the two groups together form the clade Meiura).
The name Anomura derives from an old classification in which reptant decapods were divided into Macrura (long-tailed), Brachyura (short-tailed) and Anomura (differently-tailed). The alternative name Anomala reflects the unusual variety of forms in this group; whereas all crabs share some obvious similarities, the various groups of anomurans are quite dissimilar.
The group has been moulded by several instances of carcinisation – the development of a crab-like body form. Thus, the king crabs (Lithodidae), porcelain crabs (Porcellanidae) and hairy stone crab (Lomisidae) are all separate instances of carcinisation.
As decapods (meaning ten-legged), anomurans have ten pereiopods, but the last pair of these is reduced in size, and often hidden inside the gill chamber (under the carapace) to be used for cleaning the gills. Since this arrangement is very rare in true crabs (for example, the small family Hexapodidae), a "crab" with only eight visible pereiopods is generally an anomuran.
Every morning when I get up
I see your face in my coffee cup
Looking back at me, looking back at me
Another morning, another day
And still I’m feeling the same old way
I’m still missing you, missing you
It should have been easy
It should have been easy
It should have been oh so easy to do
But I’m still getting over you
I keep seeing old friends of mine
They all smile and they say in time
I’ll get over you, I’ll be good as new
I guess somehow some day I will
I’ll forget you, I know, but still
It’ll take some time, it’ll take some time
It should have been easy
It should have been easy
It should have been oh so easy to do
But I’m still getting over you
It should have been easy
It should have been easy
It should have been oh so easy to do
