Lybia plumosa [Lybia plumosa]

Description

This delicate-looking crab is often seen perched among sea grasses, rubble, or sandy bottoms, where it blends into the seascape. Divers may notice its feathery, fine-looking appendages that help it look like a living tuft, and it may slowly reposition as it searches for food.
