Trapezia corallina [Trapezia corallina]
Description
Trapezia corallina is a coral-associated guard crab that lives among coral branches, where it can be surprisingly hard to spot until it shifts position. Divers often notice them as small, alert figures that remain close to their coral shelter, darting back in when approached.
