Lauridromia intermedia is a species of crab in the family Dromiidae and is native to the western Indo-Pacific.

Its range includes the East African coast,[3] Madagascar, the Seychelles,[1] Australia, New Caledonia, the Philippines, Japan and Taiwan.

Lauridromia intermedia usually carries a piece of sponge, holding it in place with the claw-like spines on the end of its fourth and fifth pairs of legs.

[3] After a scientific trawl along the sandy seabed off the coast of Kenya, an individual Lauridromia intermedia was brought to the surface carrying a specimen of the sea anemone Nemanthus annamensis on its back.

[3] It was holding the sea anemone in place with its two hind legs, the spines being sunk into the gelatinous column.
