Decorator Crab

Cyclocoeloma tuberculata

This small cryptic-looking "decorator crab" appears to have mastered the art of disguise by attaching various anemones and coral polyps to its exoskeleton.
A slow mover, even when approached, it seems to have complete confidence in its ability to remain inconspicuous. The alternate black and white bands on its legs distinguish this decorator crab from other similar species.
