Black Coral Crab

Quadrella maculosa

Description:

Small crab, around 1.5 cm width, usually living in its Black Coral, hence its name. This one was seen during a night dive perching at the tip of the coral for feeding. She is also carrying eggs. During the dive, I didn't noticed the eggs at all as they are so tiny.

Habitat:

Usually found among Black Corals but can be difficult to Spot as they are very small and well camouflaged among the host Black Corals.

Notes:

New Organism to Project Noah
