Hello,
I found this tiny crab in Lembeh - for my opinion it looks like some species of a Porcelain Crab?
Am I right - can anybody ID the correct species?
Thanks!

Black coral crab, Quadrella maculosa. It's a true crab with 5 pairs of legs. Porcelains are more closely related to hermits & have only 4 pairs of legs.
Thanks Leslie!

Of course your right, I didn't count the legs... ![]()
