Dromia bollorei [Dromia bollorei]
Description
Like other sponge-carrying crabs, this species often appears with a sponge attached to its back, helping it blend into the rocky, reef-like environment. During a dive, you might spot it creeping along the substrate, its sponge-covered silhouette making it easy to overlook until it shifts position.
