Porcellanopagurus belauensis [Porcellanopagurus belauensis]
Description
Divers may spot this small porcelain crab tucked into crevices and under ledges, often with its legs held in a neat, crabby stance. It’s a master of staying out of the open, using the shelter of rocks to forage while remaining well-camouflaged against the seafloor.
