NZ spider crab

Notomithrax peronii

Description:

They call him "decorator crab", he sure worths such name! In the last pic you can see him totally camouflaged, even dead...We had really bad weather few days ago, and the high seas and the waves, must have washed him ashore... Spotted near Dorset point, Seatoun...
