Zebra Urchin Crab (with eggs)

Zebrida adamsii

Description:

My previous spotting of this crab: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/854...

Notes:

I spotted this urchin crab at Dayang Beach, Talikud Island, at a depth of about 30 feet. Actually, there were two of them on this fire urchin. I believe those pink pellets it's carrying underneath are eggs!

Thanks, MayraSpringmann!

Haven't been seeing these guys for a long while now. I wonder if they're seasonal...
