Description
Fageapseudes algeriensis is an aquatic crustacean from the family Apseudidae. It is found in the Mediterranean Sea, specifically off the coast of Algeria, which gave it its name. Its small size and brownish color make it blend well with the sandy sea floor. Similar to other species in its genus, it feeds on detritus and small organisms and has a rather scarce population.
