Carrier crab

Carrier crab (Homolochunia kullar). This crab lives at a depth of 500-1000 metres in the Pacific Ocean around New Caledonia and Eastern Australia. Unusually, it has rear and front pincers. The rear pincers, located at the tip of its last pair of legs, enable the crab to grasp sponges or sea anemones, which it holds above itself for camouflage. Carrier crabs (family Homolidae) are primitive crabs, and have their sexual orifices at the base of their legs on the under side, whereas the more advanced crabs have these sexual orifices under the breastplate. The carapace (shell) of this specimen measures 3cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the unique and fascinating Carrier crab, also known as Homolochunia kullar. Found in the depths of 500-1000 meters in the Pacific Ocean around New Caledonia and Eastern Australia, this extraordinary creature stands out with its rear and front pincers. What sets it apart is that its rear pincers are located at the tip of its last pair of legs, allowing it to grasp sponges or sea anemones for camouflage. Belonging to the primitive family Homolidae, Carrier crabs possess their sexual orifices on the underside of their legs rather than under their breastplate like more advanced crabs. The carapace (shell) of this particular specimen measures a mere 3cm wide, highlighting its delicate nature. The black background enhances every intricate detail of this marine marvel. From above, we can observe its single leg extending gracefully while showcasing its exquisitely formed claw. Its calcium carbonate-based exoskeleton adds to its allure as a remarkable example of crustacean biology. This image provides a glimpse into the world beneath our oceans where ancient creatures like these continue to thrive. It serves as a reminder that there is still so much left undiscovered and unexplored within our vast aquatic realm.
