Trapezia speciosa [Trapezia speciosa]
Description
Trapezia speciosa is a coral-associated crab that divers may encounter on branching corals, where it typically stays close to the coral’s structure. With a careful look, you can often spot it moving between coral branches or tucked into the coral’s nooks. It’s a great example of the small, busy life that thrives right on the reef.
