Chirostylus ortmanni
Small bodied crab, usually less than 1 cm even as adults. Very long legs easily 4-5 cm in length for each leg. White spots running along all the legs and spiny. White-lined on the carapace. They are actually very well camouflaged on the host sea fan unless you seek them out, otherwise, you will hardly notice them.
Mostly found on a certain type of seafan coral or black corals.
